(Θέση14η Ν.8-ΝΠ.0-ΗΠ.5-Η.11 Τέρμ.57-79)
They are among the weakest teams in the league and not only in the Eastern Region. One of the worst attacks in the league, it makes sense for them to be so low as in their games the m.o. it is 5.5 goals/match. Just one (1) win in the last five (5). In the previous one, they were justly defeated by Tampa Bay 1-4 at home. The absentee list is full as Ellis R.(A.,) Brink B.(E.), Couturier S.(E.), Atkinson C.(E.), Allison W.(E.14 incl/ 3g/1as), Van Riemsdyk J. (E.6com/2g/3as).

We must make a special mention of the "Devils". Their course this year is impressive. And I'm saying from now on that unless something remarkable-unbelievable happens, they will be in the playoffs and in a very good position. They play very well and have bonded as a team. A quite young team since the key players are almost all under 26! They are very careful at the back and spread the scoring all over the place. They are rightly so high and well done to them. Something that can be seen in the results as when they lose, as happened in the last game, they lose very hard (3-4 in overtime)! Players who stand out this year are Vanecek V. (T.16comp./91.77%/1c.e.), Bratt J. (E.24comp./9g/18as), Hischier N. (23c./10g/16as), Hughes J .(E.24cm/12g/16as). Absent only Bernier J.(T.), Bastian N. (E.21com./3g/5as.), Palat O. (E.6comp./3g).
The "Devils" this year are real devils! They play amazingly and you enjoy watching their games. Any talk beyond the double based on the picture we have seen so far from the two (2) teams cannot be done. Double.
