David Clarkson's 15 goals is tops on the Devils. That's not saying all that much considering Ilya Kovalchuk has been hurt and Clarkson scored 10 times in the first 15 games, getting five in the 33 games since. "I think there was just a period there where the puck was going in," Clarkson said. "It wasn't going to continue going in like that. You look at the goals I have compared to other guys, it's right where I should or I would be. I wasn't going to keep up that pace I was on, but I definitely would have liked to have stayed scoring like I was and just have this team keep winning."
