News: Parise snapped a four-game scoring drought with a tally in Monday's loss to Philadelphia. [+]
Impact: Parise's been a little quiet of late but he usually isn't too dormant too long. Space will open up for him on the power play with the addition of Ilya Kovalchuk and there are rumors the two of them may see time together at even strength despite playing the same position.

Patrik Elias (NJ - Center)
News: Elias registered an assist for the second-consecutive game, posting a helper in Monday's loss to the Flyers. [+]
Impact: Elias is an integral part to the team's attack and was denied by Michael Leighton on a legitimate scoring chance. Look for him to produce close to a point-per-game pace, as he'll be seeing plenty of ice time with Ilya Kovalchuk. ( RotoWire - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) |
News: Salmela said he had a headache, but was otherwise OK after being taken off the ice on a stretcher following a scary hit to the face from the Philadelphia Flyers' Jeff Carter on Monday night. [+]
Impact: Moments after scoring a short-handed goal that gave the Devils a 2-0 lead in the second period, Salmela was struck hard by Carter's right shoulder as he skated by. Salmela tumbled to the ice and remained face down for several minutes, until the Devils' medical staff lifted him onto a stretcher. The 25-year-old Salmela was playing in his second game with his new team. The goal was his first with the Devils and second this season. ( STATS - Mon. Feb 8, 2010) | |

News: Emery could have a torn labrum that may require surgery, the Philadelphia Daily News reports. [+]
Impact: Emery has missed the last three games and underwent an MRI on Monday on his sore left hip. General manager Paul Holmgren said the results were not available and that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of surgery for Emery. This would be a devastating blow to Emery owners, as he seemed to be hot with five wins in seven starts before the injury. ( RotoWire - Tue. Feb 9, 2010) |
