Cam Janssen Has Given the Devils an Unexpected Spark
We all know that the NHL 82-game season is a marathon and not a sprint — there will be ups and downs and some things will happen that cannot easily be explained. Things like: how in the world does Cam Janssen have two goals in four games this season for the New Jersey Devils after only managing three goals in his previous 312 NHL games (with the Devils & St. Louis Blues).
