David Clarkson
After starting the 2012/13 campaign with 15 points in 12 games for the New Jersey Devils David Clarkson began a slump which has lasted ever since. The 30 year right winger from Toronto scored only 9 points in his last 36 games did not re-sign with the Devils in the off-season. On July 5th 2013 Clarkson signed a 7 year contract with his hometown team the Toronto Maple Leafs.David Clarkson against Marc Methot |
Prior to the move the forward had some success with the New Jersey Devils, suiting up for 426 games over the course of the previous 7 seasons, netting 97 goals and 73 assists for 170 points, his 0.4 points per game of that span over double that of his current output.
Note: Boston Bruins tough-guy Shawn Thornton sat out 15 games suspended, receiving a match ban for hauling an unsuspecting Brooks Orpik to the floor causing serious injury in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on December 7th. He only registered 8 points on the year.
