Which Chicago Blackhawks player have also played for New Jersey Devils? NHL Immaculate Grid answers for August 21
The NHL Immaculate Grid has been a fun and challenging game for hockey fans to test their knowledge. One grid on Aug. 21 requires players to name a player who has played for the Chicago Blackhawks and New Jersey Devils.
The Blackhawks are one of the original six teams in the NHL and have a historic past with tons of players having played for them. New Jersey, meanwhile, joined the NHL in 1974 as the Kansas City Scouts and then went to Colorado before becoming the New Jersey Devils in 1982.
With the Blackhawks and Devils being in different conferences it allows for more trades between the teams. With that, there have been many players who have skated for both teams.
One player who played for both teams is defensemen Johnny Oduya. The defenseman began his NHL career with the Devils during the 2000-01 season and played four years there. With New Jersey, Oduya played in 273 games recording 70 points.
After playing for Atlanta, Oduya ended up playing four straight seasons with Chicago from 2012 until 2015 and ended up back with the Blackhawks for the end of the 2016-17 season. With Chicago, Oduya won the Cup in 2013 and 2015 and in the regular season played 234 games and recorded 45 points.
