6th year left wing Stephen Gionta(11) skated in 12 games with a slumping New Jersey Devils‘ team last season failing to register a point.
He hasn’t really had the best of all seasons this year with only 6 goals and 10 assists in 56 games with Albany but has done a nice job as team captain for the AHL team.
He was finally rewarded with his first recall and responded with his first NHL goal, which just so happened to be the game-winner.
No doubt, he’ll be either called back up or staying depending upon the Albany playoff fate.
He’s been with the Devils all six of his pro seasons and is only signed to another one-year, two-way deal. It will be interesting to see if he moves zip codes for 2012/2013.
