| 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 | Reid Boucher ActiveReid Boucher will play alongside Jaromir Jagr and Travis Zajac on Tuesday. Boucher started Saturday's game on that line, but was replaced for the third period. This is a great opportunity for Boucher and reason enough to keep an eye on the 20-year-old forward. Dec 10 |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | Tim Sestito ActiveTim Sestito has two points and a plus-two rating in four contests since the Devils summoned him. "I feel confident and my ice time has gone up a little bit," Sestito said. "I'm just trying to be reliable and gain the trust of the coaching staff. It's, obviously, a great feeling when you contribute a little bit." The 29-year-old has played in 74 NHL games. He might manage to stick with the Devils, but he's not expected to have any fantasy value in standard leagues. Dec 10 |
| 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) has been medically cleared to return to the Devils' lineup. Clowe still needs to get back into game shape, but this means that he doesn't need to be evaluated by doctors again before he plays. There's still no target date for Clowe's return, but Devils GM Lou Lamoriello cautioned that they're "going to take our time and just make sure everything is 100 percent." Dec 12 |
| 3 | Stephen Gionta I.L.Stephen Gionta (ankle) has been skating by himself. Gionta isn't ready to take part in a Devils' practice yet. He hasn't played since Nov. 23. Dec 12 |
| 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 ActiveJaromir Jagr said that he wants to play in the NHL as long as someone still wants him. Jagr will turn 42 in mid-February but is still performing at a pace that you would expect of a player in his mid-twenties. He has 11 goals and 24 points in 31 games this season with a plus-nine rating. Jagr has 692 career goals and 1712 career points, numbers that would be significantly better had he decided to remain in the NHL rather than play three seasons in the KHL five years ago. Dec 9 |
| 2 | Damien Brunner ActiveDamien Brunner had a weight lifted from him after finally ending his 17-game goal scoring slump on Tuesday. After snapping the drought at 1:08 of the second period, he added a second goal midway through the final frame. "It's definitely nice when you score after a stretch like that," Brunner said. "I definitely didn't want it to get past the 20-game mark." His offensive struggles have led to him spending some time in the press box this season. He has the potential to be a solid top-six forward though, so he's worth keeping an eye on. Dec 11 |
| 3 | Michael Ryder ActiveMichael Ryder scored for the Devils in their 4-3 overtime win against the Rangers on Saturday night. Ryder now has three goals over his last four games after going 11 without one. The Devils sorely need goal scoring, so Ryder needs to continue to fill the back of the net with regularity. Eric Gelinas potted the game-winner for the Devils at 1:15 of overtime on the power play. Travis Zajac and Cam Janssen scored the other goals. Tom Sestito had two assists. Dec 8 |
| 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 third goal of the season on Saturday. Janssen has accomplished in 16 games this season what it took him 312 games before this year to do: score three goals in the NHL. He now has six career goals but his fantasy value is usually in the penalty minute category where he has only 12 minutes this season. Dec 8 |
| D | 1 | Andy Greene ActiveAndy Greene had a couple of cuts on his lower lip courtesy of a high stick from Ryan Callahan. Greene is considering putting on a cage but that remains to be seen. He has four goals and 14 points in 31 games this season so he makes a good 3-4 defenseman in deeper pools. Dec 8 |
| 2 | Marek Zidlicky ActiveMarek Zidlicky (upper body) is healthy enough to return on Tuesday. Zidlicky was unavailable for Saturday's contest against the New York Rangers. He has 14 points and 32 penalty minutes in 30 contests this season. Dec 10 |
| 3 | Bryce Salvador I.L.Bryce Salvador's fractured foot has healed to the point where he's able to practice. Salvador didn't experience any pain when he skated on Wednesday. He won't be available on Friday or Saturday, but at this point, the distance until his return is probably better to measure in days than weeks. Dec 11 |
| 4 | Eric Gelinas ActiveEric Gelinas' overtime goal gave the New Jersey Devils a 4-3 win over the Rangers Saturday. Gelinas has been a nice surprise for the Devils as he now has three goals and 12 points in 22 games in this his rookie season. He is quarterbacking the power play and looks like the real thing. "He got the opportunity to play, he was in the minors and he grabbed it 100 percent," veteran star Jaromir Jagr said. "It’s a perfect example for the young kids just to be ready when you have a chance. He took the chance he got. Some guys fall, but he grabbed it." Jagr thinks that Gelinas has a chance to be a star in the NHL so take him in fantasy pools as he is owned in only 10% of Yahoo! pools. Dec 8 |
| 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  SidelinedAnton Volchenkov "didn't feel right" after being hit in the back of the net during Tuesday's game. Volchenkov missed most of the second period due to the injury. He attempted to return for the third period, but he only ended up taking four shifts in that frame. We'll err on the side of caution by listing him as day-to-day for now. Dec 11 |
| 7 | Peter Harrold SidelinedPeter Harrold has a fractured bone in his foot. Harrold will spend the next week wearing a cast before being re-evaluated. He has two assists and 10 penalty minutes in 21 games this season. Dec 11 |
| 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 made 18 saves on 23 shots in the New Jersey Devils 5-4 loss to Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. That's a save percentage of .783 from the future Hall-of-Famer. Brodeur is now 8-8-2 on the season and only has one win in his last six starts. It's rare to see the Devils get this kind of goal support, making the loss burn that much more. Dec 10 |
| 2 | Cory Schneider ActiveCory Schneider will start Friday in Pittsburgh for the New Jersey Devils. The decision isn't surprising after Martin Brodeur surrendered five goals on 23 shots versus Columbus on Tuesday night. The Devils play again Saturday when they host Tampa Bay, but it's uncertain who will get the nod for that contest. Dec 12 |
