List Of New Jersey Devils Players
The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team based in Newark, New Jersey, United States. They are members of the Atlantic Division of the National Hockey League's (NHL) Eastern Conference. The Devils franchise has been a part of the NHL since 1974, when the team entered the league as the Kansas City Scouts. Two years later, they moved to Denver, Colorado and became the Colorado Rockies. The team stayed there until 1982, when they moved to New Jersey.
282 players have played on the team; 15 players have had multiple stints. The Devils have won the Stanley Cup three times with a total of 54 different players. Five players (Martin Brodeur, Sergei Brylin, Ken Daneyko, Scott Niedermayer, and Scott Stevens) have been a part of all three Cup wins, and eleven more have won two. Of the 282 players, Ken Daneyko has played the most games with the team, playing all 1283 games of his NHL career in New Jersey. On the other end of the spectrum, nine players have played just one regular season game on the team; Steve Brule's only appearance with New Jersey came in the 2000 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Devils have had eight captains; Jamie Langenbrunner held the captaincy since December 5, 2007 until he was traded in the middle of the 2010-11 season. He was replaced by Zach Parise at the start of the following season. The Devils have retired two jersey numbers, #3 for career Devil Ken Daneyko and #4 for longtime captain Scott Stevens. Three Devils are enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame: Viacheslav Fetisov, Peter Stastny, and Stevens.
Patrik Elias is the franchise's all-time leading scorer, surpassing former teammate and current head coach John MacLean on March 17, 2009 with his 702nd point. MacLean still holds the franchise record for goals, however, with 347. Martin Brodeur holds nearly every team record for goaltenders, having been the team's starting goaltender since the 1994–95 NHL season. In addition to his team records, he is the winningest goaltender in NHL history, notching his 552nd win on March 17, 2009 to pass his childhood idol Patrick Roy.
This list does not include data from the Kansas City Scouts and the Colorado Rockies. The seasons column lists the first year of the season of the player's first game and the last year of the season of the player's last game. All the players that were part of a Stanley Cup winning roster have a blue background on their row.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, jersey, devils and/or players:
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“vanished into nowhere Zen New Jersey leaving a trail of ambiguous
picture postcards of Atlantic City Hall,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“O sinewy silver biplane, nudging the wind’s withers!
There, from Kill Devils Hill at Kitty Hawk
Two brothers in their twinship left the dune;
Warping the gale, the Wright wind wrestlers veered
Capeward, then blading the wind’s flank, banked and spun.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
