| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Travis Zajac  ActiveTravis Zajac technically scored the game-winning goal in the Devils' 4-3 overtime win against Anaheim on Wednesday. What actually happened was Zajac kicked the puck to Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller and after that was stopped, Ducks defenseman Ben Lovejoy's clearing attempt bounced off Corey Perry and into the goal. So basically Anaheim accidentally scored on themselves and Zajac just got credit for the goal as a matter of course. "I'll take them any way," Zajac said. "That was one of the luckiest goals I've ever scored, but I'll take those any day of the week." Nov 21 |
| 2 | Adam Henrique ActiveAdam Henrique (leg) will be able to play on Wednesday. Henrique didn't play in the third period of Monday's contest due to the ailment. He's been playing primarily as a left winger recently, but he'll serve as a center Wednesday night. Dec 4 |
| 3 | Andrei Loktionov ActiveAndrei Loktionov had a goal and an assist in the Devils' 4-3 shootout loss. Loktionov now has three goals and four assists in 27 games this season. He has no fantasy value in standard leagues. Dec 5 |
| 4 | Ryan Carter  I.L.Ryan Carter (leg) has been placed on the injured reserve list. Carter sustained the injury while sparring with Buffalo's Marcus Foligno during Saturday's contest. He has five points and 19 penalty minutes in 24 games this season. Dec 5 |
| 5 | Jacob Josefson ActiveJacob Josefson is probable to get back into New Jersey's lineup Saturday night. He skated with Adam Henrique and Michael Ryder during Saturday's game-day session. Josefson has been a healthy scratch for the last four games. He doesn't have a point in six appearances this year. Nov 23 |
| 6 | Tim Sestito ActiveTim Sestito managed to escape a serious injury when he was struck in the jaw by Brandon Prust's skate during the Devils' game against Montreal on Monday. "I think I just got the heel of his boot," Sestito said. "It could have been really bad, but luckily I escaped with very minimal damage, just a sore jaw." Sestito is still expected to play Wednesday. Dec 4 |
| 7 | Reid Boucher ActiveReid Boucher had an assist in his NHL debut on Wednesday. Boucher also found the back of the net in a shootout attempt, which makes him the only Devils player to accomplish that feat this season. New Jersey ended up losing in the shootout despite his efforts. "A good first game. I think it went well," Boucher said. "I'm very disappointed we lost, but we got a point out of it." He logged 12:30 minutes and got some playing time with Patrik Elias. Dec 5 |
| LW | 1 | Patrik Elias ActivePatrik Elias has been marred by injuries so far this season, but has quietly posted 11 points during his last 11 games. Elias has three goals along with eight assists during that span. One negative is that he's recorded only 17 shots on goal (1.55 per game), which is well off his career pace of 2.77 per contest, so there is plenty of room for improvement. Elias has recorded just 14 points this season, which ranks him tied for 118th in that department in the league, and way down the list in terms of fantasy hockey rankings. Now is the perfect time to "buy low" on Elias before he begins to creep up in those standings. He's just 55 percent Yahoo! owned at the moment, so double check your league's waiver wire to see if he's still available. Nov 28 |
| 2 | Ryane Clowe I.L.Ryane Clowe (concussion) resumed skating this week in New Jersey. He has been sidelined since Oct. 13 because of concussion symptoms. Clowe has been working out off the ice for several weeks during his recovery, but finally being able to get back on skates is a positive step. Nov 23 |
| 3 | Stephen Gionta I.L.Stephen Gionta (ankle) has been put on the injured reserve list. Gionta has already missed a game, so the move is retroactive Saturday. He has two points in 21 games this season. Nov 27 |
| 4 | Mattias Tedenby ActiveMattias Tedenby is expected to activated from New Jersey's non-roster injured list. He will be available to play Thursday night after the Devils placed Ryane Clowe on injured reserve Wednesday. Tedenby practiced Wednesday with Travis Zajac and Michael Ryder. He played just four games last season and hasn't played any yet this year, but he's expected to be in the lineup Thursday. Oct 16 |
| RW | 1 | Jaromir Jagr ActiveDevils coach Pete DeBoer is worried that he's been overusing Jaromir Jagr. Jagr is averaging 18:43 minutes per game, but he's also logged over 22 minutes in each of his last two contests. He's 42 years old, but DeBoer insists his concerns aren't related to Jagr's age. "I look at the fact that this is an Olympic year, he's probably a guy that's going to go to the Olympics, we're in a condensed schedule," DeBoer said. "The minutes have just been a little bit high, that's all. He's earned them and he's been key in getting some of the of wins in some of those games, but for me the bigger issues is I shouldn't have to play him that much." We doubt Jagr's playing time will decrease enough to meaningfully impact his fantasy value. Dec 4 |
| 2 | Damien Brunner ActiveDamien Brunner was barely used in the third period of the Devils' 4-3 shootout loss. Brunner's stock has fallen substantial this season despite getting off to a solid start. He has just one assist in his last 16 games. Dec 5 |
| 3 | Michael Ryder ActiveMichael Ryder netted a goal and an assist for New Jersey Wednesday night, but it wasn't enough as the Devils lost a 4-3 shootout decision. There's nothing like back-to-back games against your former team to help you get out of a slump. With three points in two contests against the Habs this week, Ryder ended an 11-game goalless drought rather nicely. Patrik Elias and Andrei Loktionov also found the back of the net for New Jersey in the defeat. Dec 4 |
| 4 | Dainius Zubrus ActiveDainius Zubrus has shown he isn’t quite washed up yet, countering an early eight game point drought with six points (1G, 5A) in his last six games. The 35 year-old is also a +8 in his last six games with two penalty minutes and a game winner. Don’t expect his production to keep up for too much longer, but he’s certainly a Devil on fire lately. Nov 22 |
| 5 | Steve Bernier ActiveSteve Bernier potted the lone goal in the Devils' 1-0 overtime triumph over the Sabres on Saturday night. If you like offense, this game definitely wasn't for you as the two teams combined for 39 shots on goal. Bernier scored with 31 seconds left in overtime. Suffice to say, with just two goals and five points, Bernier is not a fantasy factor. Andy Greene and Adam Henrique had the assists. Nov 30 |
| 6 | Cam Janssen ActiveCam Janssen scored his second goal in three games for the Devils on Sunday. Is Cam Janssen a scoring machine or what? The enforcer had scored only three goals in 312 NHL games heading into this season but all of a sudden he is the reincarnate of Ilya Kovalchuk. Don't expect any more goals from Janssen this season but pick him up if you are on the lookout for penalty minutes.
Is Cam Janssen a scoring machine or what? The enforcer had scored only three times in 312 NHL games before the start of the season and now has two in three games after his recall from the minors on Wednesday. He has fantasy value in penalty minutes but apparently he thinks he is Ilya Kovalchuk around the net at this time. Don't expect him to score another goal this season but pick him up if you need penalty minutes. Nov 11 |
| D | 1 | Andy Greene ActiveAndy Greene has quietly racked up six points during the last five games. Greene's career-high is 37 points, and he's on pace to set a new standard in that department come April. One of the main reasons for the uptick in his offensive production is due to recent elevated power play ice-time. During this stretch, he's appearing in just under 50 percent of all Devils' power play opportunities, which has been operating at 22.2 percent efficiency. He's in a bit of a timeshare situation with Marek Zidlicky and Eric Gelinas, but if he can manage to get into the 60 percent range, the offensive production could really skyrocket. He's just 11 percent Yahoo! owned, but could be a decent "sleeper" candidate moving forward. Dec 1 |
| 2 | Marek Zidlicky ActiveMarek Zidlicky registered an assist in the Devils' 2-1 overtime victory on Thursday. Zidlicky is plus-five in his last three games to bring his rating back up to neutral. He's minus-57 in his career and he hasn't finished a season with a better than neutral rating since 2006-07. Nov 22 |
| 3 | Bryce Salvador I.L.Bryce Salvador has yet to return to the ice after fracturing his foot on October 29. Salvador was expected to be out at least a week but it's turning into a month or more as he suffered a non-displaced stress fracture of his foot. Salvador had two assists in nine games before the injury with nine penalty minutes so he has limited fantasy value at best when healthy. Nov 24 |
| 4 | Eric Gelinas ActiveEric Gelinas participated in his first regular season game in the Montreal Canadiens' Bell Centre on Monday. Gelinas attended plenty of games there while he was growing up in Vanier, Ontario. He had an assist in 22:31 minutes of ice time and was part of the team's starting lineup. "That was pretty special," Gelinas said. "I didn't think I was going to start, actually, but I guess it's pretty smart to get the nerves out of the way or get the first shift out of the way." Dec 3 |
| 5 | Mark Fayne ActiveMark Fayne will dress in his first game of 2013-14 Tuesday night in Vancouver. He was a healthy scratch for the Devils' first three games of the year. With Fayne in the lineup, Adam Larsson will draw out. Oct 8 |
| 6 | Anton Volchenkov ActiveAnton Volchenkov (leg) has officially been taken off of the injured reserve list. This move was expected as Volchenkov had already been penciled in to return on Friday. He was sidelined for seven consecutive games. Nov 29 |
| 7 | Peter Harrold ActivePeter Harrold will return from an elbow injury Thursday night. Just an FYI as he doesn't have any fantasy value. Mark Fayne will be a healthy scratch to make room for him. Nov 7 |
| 8 | Adam Larsson I.L.The New Jersey Devils placed Adam Larsson on the injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 23 on Sunday. The fourth pick of the 2011 NHL Draft hasn't paid immediate dividends for the Devils, at least yet. He has three points and a -4 rating in 20 games played this season. Dec 1 |
| 9 | Jonathon Merrill ActiveJonathon Merrill made what was really his proper NHL debut on Monday. It was actually Merrill's second career game, but the first time he lasted three shifts before suffering a concussion. This time around, Merrill had a neutral rating and two shots on goal in 15:17 minutes of ice time. "I thought he did a good job for his first game," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "You can see his composure and his ability to move the puck. Tough circumstances to throw him in and I thought he handled himself very well." Nov 26 |
| G | 1 | Martin Brodeur ActiveMartin Brodeur didn't have his best night Monday as he and the Devils fell to Montreal by a score of 3-2. Brodeur allowed three goals on just 17 shots in the defeat and was outdueled by the Habs' Carey Price. The veteran's record falls to 7-7-2 with the defeat and his GAA rises to 2.25 while his save percentage is now .906. Dec 2 |
| 2 | Cory Schneider ActiveCory Schneider was beaten for three goals on 30 shots Wednesday as the Devils lost a 4-3 shootout decision to Montreal. Having started three of New Jersey's past four games, the former Canuck seems to slowly be yanking control of the crease away from Martin Brodeur. His 4-5-4 record for the year seems out of place when compared against his .925 save percentage and 1.81 GAA. Dec 4 |
