When Devils defenseman Damon Severson took the ice on Thursday for the team's 2021 season opener, there was a new addition to his sweater, an A. Severson was given the alternate captain's by Head Coach Lindy Ruff on Wednesday.
"Lindy likes to roam around the room, chat with guys," explained Severson on how the conversation came about. "[We were] just having a conversation and he just sort of mentioned that I have a letter on my jersey this year and it was just like a casual conversation."
