So the Devils placed injured winger Cam Janssen on the long-term injury list this weekend. Still unknown what actually ails Janssen, we are left only to assume his aching shoulder is probably more than a mere dislocation or separation. Me thinks he suffered some structural damage and Louie Lams just doesn’t want to make it known to the media. Oh how I love our mysterious GM…

Filling in for Janssen is Dan LaCouture, making his second appearance as a New Jersey Devil. Skating in six games this season with New Jersey, LaCouture racked up seven penalty minutes and has gone pointless thusfar for the Devils.

Granted, he’s no goal scorer, but an assist here and there would be nice. I know, I’m asking a lot here, but at least it’s worth a shot. If Erik Rasmussen can get a goal or two this year (and he’s well on pace after Saturday’s affair in Boston), then Danny Boy can get a few assists!

Alas, welcome back Danny Boy!
