By now, it's not exactly news that the New Jersey Devils have recalled forward Mike Sislo and defenseman Seth Helgeson from Albany under emergency conditions due to some recent injuries. My initial reaction was to be less than thrilled with these choices; we've seen what these guys have to bring at the NHL level and while Helgeson would be a solid bottom pair filler for a team heading towards the postseason, we can no longer descrive the Devils as a team heading towards the postseason.
Since the team is seemingly out of contention, barring a miracle, I would have liked to have seen the team get a bit more creative in terms of players brought up to fill in for the injured.
