| Player Notes |
| April 25, 2008 John Madden was nominated for the Selke Trophy awarded to the forward "who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game," according to NHL.com. |
| April 15, 2008 John Madden has been playing great in the post-season as he notably scored the game-winning OT goal against the Rangers on Sunday, and has earned more ice time and gained praise from Brent Sutter, according to the Newark Star Ledger. Sutter is very high on Madden right now and commented, "You try to play your top players on the power play, your most skilled guys who contribute maybe the most offensively on it. Sometimes you change things just to shake things up a little bit, but John's one of those guys that, since Day One, has played extremely well for this team. He's done everything that I've asked of a player to do. He's had a great year to date and he'll continue to play well, because he plays for the front of that jersey. That jersey means everything to him. He's a fiery guy. He's got the intensity and the intangibles that make up a winner. And his character showed Sunday night." |
| April 13, 2008 It wasn't pretty, but John Madden will take it. The Devils center netted the game-winning overtime goal against the Rangers on Sunday and helped his club climb back into the series. "Im not going to lie. It was a lot of luck," Madden admits to the AP. His shot went off the foot of defenseman Marc Staal. |
| April 12, 2008 John Madden scored the Devils' lone goal in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. That was his first goal since March 15. |
| January 20, 2008 John Madden believes he'll be able to return to the lineup for Sunday's game, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. Madden's recovering from a lacerated ankle but was fortunate the cut didn't cause any serious damage. |
| January 17, 2008 John Madden was unable to play in Wednesdays 3-1 loss to the Islanders. The AP reports that he was nursing a lacerated ankle. Madden had not missed a game since 1999. |
| January 14, 2008 It appears that John Madden avoided a serious injury when he was cut just above his ankle by a skate during Saturday's game. "I saw the doctors and the tests they did went well. They came to the conclusion that there is no damage to the tendons. No MRI was necessary," Madden said, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. "I'm hoping when I get up in the morning, everything will be okay. It's wait-and-see right now." Doctors will keep an eye on the gash to make sure it doesn't get infected, but it appears he could play on Wednesday. |
| January 13, 2008 John Madden was cut by a skate just above his right ankle late in Saturday's game. "Right now the prognosis is good," Madden said, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. "I don't think it got any major tendons. That was my main concern. We'll see when I get an MRI tomorrow." Obviously, if the MRI reveals anything serious, Madden could be out for an extended stretch. |
