| David Desharnais has turned it around lately. He had two assists in Monday’s game against the Devils and now has 2 goals and 6 assists in his last 7 games. What’s cause for concern is that during this same period of 7 games, he only has 9 shots on goal. | Steve Bernier was one of the most dangerous players for the Devils in their last game against the Canadiens this past Monday. He had a goal and six shots against Carey Price. |
