Leblond Making A Case

The New Jersey Devils are without a true heavyweight for the first time in a long time and Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond is giving them something to think about.

Leblond continued his push for the team’s enforcer job Monday night, putting up an admirable performance against Donald Brashear. It was his third fight of the preseason and his third straight solid performance as well. Brent Sutter and company have noticed.

The Blackhawks and Blue Jackets produced a total of four fights last night. Alexandre Picard fought twice, taking on Kevyn Adams and Kris Versteeg. 2007-08 fighting majors leader Jared Boll fought for the first time since injuring his hand over the summer, dropping the gloves with Colin Fraser. Unfortunately for Columbus, Raffi Torres was injured in his fight against Ben Eager and will be out for at least six weeks with a shoulder injury.
