Steve Sullivan said he'd be "extremely surprised" if the Penguins are upset again in the first round.
Sullivan, now with the Devils, was with the second-seeded Pens when they were shocked by the Flyers last season. "I'd be extremely surprised if something like that happens to them again," Sullivan said. "Extremely. You know, you learn from your past experiences. They've learned their lesson. Look at how they've played all season. They are a team with a chip on its shoulder, and it shows. They aren't going to get stunned by anything again." Apr 26 - 10:20 AM

Steve Sullivan registered a power-play goal and added an assist in New Jersey's 3-2 win against Montreal Tuesday night.

He has only contributed a goal and a helper in his previous six outings since being acquired from Phoenix and was a healthy scratch this past Saturday. Patrik Elias scored when the Devils had a man advantage as well, while Jacob Josefson potted his first goal in 20 games this season. Defenseman Marek Zidlicky got on the board with two assists in the contest.

Steve Sullivan will be a healthy scratch against the Panthers Saturday afternoon.

He will sit in the press box as the Devils need the roster spot for the returning Ilya Kovalchuk and New Jersey coach Peter DeBoer did not want to take Matt D'Agostini or Steve Bernier out of the lineup.
Apr 20 - 11:37 AM

Steve Sullivan netted his first goal as a member of the New Jersey Devils since Feb. 15, 1997.

As a fun side note, Martin Brodeur was the starter in that game too. Sullivan began his career with the Devils, but he spent the vast majority of it with other clubs. Now at the age of 38, he's come full circle and is trying to help the Devils make the playoffs. Unfortunately his goal on Sunday wasn't enough as the Devils still lost their seventh straight game.

If you need some power play points, consider picking up Steve Sullivan.

It looks as if the newly-acquired Sullivan will get some time on the Devils' power play as a pointman, a job he has done with success in the past. He will also be skating on the Devils' second line alongside Patrik Elias. We recommend you take a flier on him and pick him up prior to Saturday's contest against Toronto.
Apr 6 - 10:38 AM

Steve Sullivan will probably make his return to New Jersey's lineup in time for Saturday's match against Toronto.

He begun his career with the Devils back in 1995-96 and skated in 49 games with the team in parts of two seasons before being traded to the Maple Leafs in the deal for Doug Gilmour. Sullivan just five goals and 12 points in 33 games with Phoenix this season and he'll provide the Devils with some depth up front down the stretch.
Apr 4 - 10:55 AM

The New Jersey Devils have sent a 2014 seventh-round pick to the Phoenix Coyotes to get Steve Sullivan.

Sullivan has five goals and 12 points in 33 games this season. For a minimal cost, the Devils are getting a veteran player that can provide them with some secondary scoring.
Apr 3 - 3:37 PM

As expected, Steve Sullivan took part in his 1,000th career game on Thursday.

Sullivan's Phoenix Coyotes earned a 7-4 victory against his former team, the Nashville Predators. "I don’t think we could have picked a better spot to play 1,000 games," Sullivan said of Nashville. "This is where I called home for seven years. This is where my kids grew up. This is pretty much all they remember. For them to come back and see friends and family and watch a milestone night for myself, it was like it was meant to be."
Mar 29 - 9:31 AM

Steve Sullivan is projected to play in his 1,000th career game on Thursday.

Appropriately, it will be in Nashville. Sullivan spent parts of six seasons with the Predators before joining Pittsburgh for the 2011-12 campaign. He then inked a one-year, $1,850,000 deal with the Phoenix Coyotes for 2012-13.
Mar 28 - 9:38 AM

Steve Sullivan is hopeful that his performance in Saturday's win over Anaheim is the start of a hot streak.

In addition to potting the tying goal late in regulation to send the contest to overtime, Sullivan scored the only shootout marker for either team, earning two points for the Coyotes. "That’s what I was brought here to do, to help on the offensive side of the puck, and it wasn’t going in," Sullivan said. "So I felt a lot of pressure." With nine points in 18 contests, the diminutive winger has been far from exceptional, but with points in two straight games he may be finding his groove.
Mar 3 - 8:15 AM

Steve Sullivan picked up a pair of assists in Saturday's win over the Blue Jackets.

In his career, Sullivan has recorded 50 points in 49 games against Columbus, including two hat tricks. He may not be a primary offensive contributor for the Coyotes, but Sullivan's seven points in 12 games prove he's still useful, primarily in points-only leagues.
Feb 17 - 8:15 AM

Steve Sullivan (lower body) logged 12:52 minutes in his return on Monday.

Sullivan has averaged just 13:50 minutes per contest. He still has five points in seven games, but his lack of playing time is concerning.
Feb 5 - 10:55 AM

Steve Sullivan (lower body) will return to the Phoenix Coyotes lineup on Monday.

Sullivan missed a week due to the ailment. He has four goals and five points in six games this season.
Feb 4 - 1:43 PM

Steve Sullivan didn't play on Wednesday due to a lower-body injury.

"We thought Sully was going to be able to play," Coyotes Dave Tippett said. "It just didn’t turn out that way." Consider Sullivan day-to-day for now.
Jan 31 - 10:53 AM

Steve Sullivan scored his fourth of the season and added an assist in the Coyotes 5-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

The 38 year old winger followed up his hat-trick with a two point night. The Coyotes have a knack for picking up veterans off the scrap heap and making them valuable contributors. The Coyotes have always struggled to ice a decent top six forward group, and this year is no different. Sullivan will be called upon to take a sip from the fountain of youth and try and help lead this team. He's worth keeping an eye on but at his age it's unlikely he will be able to maintain this level of consistency.
