Devils Announce Sweater Numbers for New Players

On Monday afternoon, the New Jersey Devils announced new sweater numbers for recent acquisitions Brenden Dillon, Brett Pesce, and Paul Cotter.

Since playing their last game in April, the Devils lineup has experienced quite a turnover. Jacob Markstrom (No. 25) came to town, followed by a reunion tour with Stefan Noesen and Tomas Tatar.
