Report: Devils to retire Niedermayer's #27
Five players were a part of all three New Jersey Devils Stanley Cup teams (1995, 2000, 2003): Scott Stevens, Ken Daneyko, Sergei Brylin, Martin Brodeur and Scott Niedermayer. Brodeur is the only active player remaining, and two of those players have had their jerseys risen to the rafters. Now, according to Tom Gulitti of Fire and Ice, that exclusive group could gain a new member, as the Devils are reportedly planning Scott Niedermayer Night at the Prudential Center next season. The reported date could be December 16th against the Dallas Stars.
