Preseason Recap

After going 1-2 in their first three games, the Devils won the final three, making their final record 4-2. Jamie Langenbrunner, Cam Janssen, and Colin White are all out indefinitely. Langenbrunner is expected to return in late November/early December, while it's unknown when Janssen and White will be able to play. Rookies Rod Pelley, David Clarkson, and Nicklas Bergfors all seem to have made the team.
