Anton Volchenkov netted his first goal in a New Jersey uniform on Sunday against Pittsburgh. It took him 102 games to finally find the back of the net and his teammates were elated for him on the bench. "We were real happy," coach Pete DeBoer said. "It's hard not to smile for that guy when you see how he lays his body on the line every night to win games. It was great he got the goal. I thought he was our best player in Philadelphia (Saturday afternoon) outside of (goalie Johan) Hedberg. If there was contact to be made he was the first one there to take it." Volchenkov has eight points, 111 hits and 84 blocked shots in 45 games.
