In NHL history, Andreychuk goes down as one of the best power forwards to play the game. He was a very valuable asset in
front of the net, especially if his team was on the power play.
So you could say that his stint with the Devils would be the oddball of the bunch. Injuries, particularly ankle injuries, had plagued
Andreychuk for the majority of his time in New Jersey. Even when he WAS healthy (96-97 season), while he did get a decent
output pointswise, he wasn't able to play a key role on the Devils' man advantage.
The only bright spot of this part of his career was that he scored his 500th NHL goal while as a Devil. He accomplished this
against the Capitals on March 15, 1997.
Another criticism of his was that he was on teams that didn't deliver in the postseason. (Meaning no Stanley Cup.) In Jersey, HE
didn't deliver, either. Only 3 points!
That would be put to rest finally in 2004 while he captained the Tampa Bay Lightning to the championship.
