Not only did the fans at the Tsongas get to see future Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur in net for the Devils, they welcomed back Hockey East and Boston College stand out Brian Gionta.
Gionta led the Devils to a 6-1 routing of the New York Islanders via the hat trick, two of which came on the power play.
John Madden (2 goals) and Travis Zajac added the other three goals.
Those in attendance were also treated to some old time, black and blue hockey as they saw four different Devils drop the gloves.
David Clarkson, Matthew Corrente, Arron Asham and Mike Rupp stepped up to the challenge as they threw down the gloves and took on Darryl Bootland, Tim Jackman and Gordie Dwyer
Jackman had a rough night considering he faced off against Corrente and Ashman.
Brodeur made 14 saves on 15 shots before giving way to Frank Doyle at the start of the third period.
Doyle was perfect in net stopping all 11 shots he faced.
Dwyer scored the lone goal for the Isles.
The Lowell Devils hit the ice tomorrow for their first practice before hosting the Bridgeport Sound Tigers Saturday night for their first preseason tilt at the arena; face off is 6:05 p.m.
Assistant Sports Editor Barry Scanlon will make his way to the rink for the Devils first practice on Thursday. Be sure to pick up The Sun or read his words on the Lowell Sun website and stay here throughout the season for all the Lowell Devils news.See you at the rink; until then keep reading here for Lowell Devil up dates.

Gayle, There hasn't been any mention of NJ devils being cut to stay behind in Lowell. But I would imagine this would be a feasible thing..can we get a list of players practicing in Lowell today?

Working on that right MLF.
I saw Coach Kurt Kleinendorst last night at the game and he seems excited to be back in Lowell for a second season.
I also spoke with Stephen Gionta and Jordan Parise, both of whom are anxious to get their seasons started.
As soon as I get an up to date roster I let you know.
