The New Jersey Devils were left with a need for a scoring winger when Ilya Kovalchuk suddenly retired from the NHL and dipped into the free agent market for the most accomplished scoring winger available.Numbers Game breaks down the Devils deal with Jaromir Jagr.The Devils Get: RW Jaromir Jagr. Jagr, 41, has been a productive offensive player since returning to the NHL at the start of the 2011-2012 season, scoring 89 points in 118 games. His puck possession numbers have been strong too, ranking 41st among forwards that played at least 1500 five-on-five minutes over the last two seasons. Hes slower, as one might expect from a 41-year-old winger, but hes still a 240-pound winger who can protect the puck and control play in the offensive zone. Criticism of Jagr, at this point, is most likely going to centre around his failure to score a single goal in 22 playoff games for the Boston Bruins, setting a single-season playoff record for the most recorded shots on goal (58) without scoring. He created chances, had 10 assists and was among the Bruins possession leaders in the postseason, but that zero in the goal column is an ugly number for a player who leads all active players with 681 career regular season goals, to go along with 78 career playoff tallies. While Jagr is a far cry from the dominant offensive performer that he was from 1991 through 2007, when he scored 1471 points in 1111 games (his 1.32 points per game the best in hockey over that span), he remains an effective scoring forward and has an opportunity to play a significant role with the Devils. When Ilya Kovalchuk abruptly retired from the NHL earlier this month, that left the Devils with a big opening for a scoring winger and while Jagr isnt capable of playing 24 minutes a night, like Kovalchuk has for the past couple seasons, Jagr can play 18 minutes a night on one of the top two lines as well as the power play. For whatever it may be worth -- maybe nothing, maybe slightly better chemistry -- the Devils power play will include a couple of Jagrs Czech countrymen, Patrik Elias and Marek Zidlicky. With Jagr in the fold, the Devils have a decent group of top six forwards, including Elias and free agent additions Ryane Clowe and Michael Ryder on the wings, with Travis Zajac and Adam Henrique occupying the top two centre spots, though Andrei Loktionov could warrant a look in a scoring role too. Once the Bruins had traded for Loui Eriksson and signed Jarome Iginla as a free agent, there wasnt a fit for Jagr on Bostons top two lines, so he moves on, to his fourth team since returning to the NHL in 2011. Whats more, if the Devils cant rebound from a disappointing 2013 campaign and get back into the playoff picture, then Jagr could be on the move again around the trade deadline, where he would at least bring a draft pick in return, which is significant to New Jersey since they are required to forfeit their first-round selection as a penalty for the initial contract they signed with Kovalchuk. Thats a fall-back position, because the Devils would rather have Jagr play a role in getting them back to the postseason, but that asset management cant be ignored as a factor in getting Jagr inked to a one-year deal. With Kovalchuk gone and the free agent frenzy having died down, the Devils made the best of their situation. We dont have the salary numbers on Jagr yet but, because its a one-year deal, the investment shouldnt be problematic and gives them a reasonable replacement for Kovalchuk who may be 11 years older but, because of that, doesnt require anywhere near the same kind of financial commitment.

Ivan Lucic Jersey . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.LOS ANGELES -- Luke Walton and the Los Angeles Lakers hope to catch the Golden State Warriors on a downturn when the clubs meet Friday night at Staples Center.Walton, Golden State coach Steve Kerrs top assistant for the previous two seasons, will be facing the Warriors for the first time in a regular-season game as the Lakers head coach. The teams met twice during the exhibition season, with the Warriors recording wins in both.Golden State (4-1) prevailed in an emotional and sometimes-heated 122-96 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night at Oracle Arena. In his first meeting with his former club, Kevin Durant scored 29 of his season-high 39 points in the first half as the Warriors rolled.Durant also had some salty exchanges with some of his ex-teammates, most notably Enes Kanter. He was quiet early on before the Thunder raced to a double-digit lead early and then Jerami Grant dunked on the 6-foot-9 forward and let him know about it.When you get dunked on like that, you want to come back and try to ignite your team, Durant said. When the other team is dunking, I just try to go out and do the same. Over the course of the game, I try to make plays and get them back that way. It definitely sparked something in me.The Warriors return to the City of Angels with a little payback in mind. In their last meeting on March 6, the Lakers stunned the Warriors by beating them 112-95, one of only nine losses against Golden State en route to its NBA-record 73 wins.With Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson having one of their worst shooting pperformances, missing 17 of the 18 attempts from behind the 3-point arc, the Lakers feasted for one of their 17 wins.dddddddddddd.The Lakers (2-3) earned their first road decision of the season Wednesday by beating the previously unbeaten Hawks 123-116 in Atlanta, allowing Los Angeles to go 1/3 on a four-game road trip. Lou Williams scored 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter to spark the Lakers.I think its just good for the guys, Walton said after the win, according to the Los Angeles Times. Theyve been giving a hell of an effort all year. Training camp, preseason. When you can hear the joy in their voice and them having fun after they win instead of the quiet locker room when they lose, its nice, and I think it makes it easier to continue to want to work hard, when you know that feelings at the end of the tunnel.Los Angeles center Timofey Mozgov is listed as doubtful for the contest against the Warriors. Mozgov sustained a soft tissue contusion around his left eye in a Tuesday defeat against the Indiana Pacers. Although tests were negative for any factures or a concussion, Mozgov sat out the Lakers win over the Hawks. His status for Sundays game against the Phoenix Suns is unknown.Lakers rookie Ivica Zubac started in Mozgovs place against the Hawks. Zubac scored four points and grabbed three rebounds in 18 foul-plagued minutes. Zubac or Tarik Black probably will get the start against Golden State. ' ' '
