Albany Devils News Release


TODAY'S STORYLINES

Out Indefinitely: Scott Wedgewood is being ruled out indefinitely after suffering a shoulder injury during Friday's contest similar to the one he sustained last season. The team should have more information later this week.

"It's the same thing as last year and that's not a good thing," said Head Coach Rick Kowalsky. "We'll hope for the best, but being through something like this myself, every time something happens it's tough to come back from. We'll know more as the week transpires here. He's certainly for now out indefinitely."

Weekend Recap: The Devils dropped both their games this past weekend: 6-2 at Binghamton Friday and 3-2 at Syracuse Saturday.

"Friday, we were not good," Kowalsky said. "We were not ready. They were and they were a desperate team, but we shot ourselves in the foot with a lot of the goals. Saturday, we got better against a good hockey team that also lost big the night before in Hershey. I thought we responded well.

"There are still some areas and details in our game and some compete level and hardness in certain areas we can still work on. We had a lot of opportunities to score late in the game. I think the biggest thing is losing the way we did -- that late. Not getting a point out of there, which I thought we deserved. It certainly stings, but we can't carry that into tomorrow."

Making His Case: The New Jersey Devils wrap up their four-game Western Conference road trip Monday with a 10:30 pm matchup against San Jose. During their last outing - a 4-2 loss at Los Angeles - Nick Lappin scored his second career goal. During that game, he was moved to a top-six forward role during the second period.

The 24-year-old earned his first career NHL recall on Oct. 28 and has three goals and two assists in 11 games. He began the season in Albany and had a goal and a helper in six outings.
