Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
At his best, Ludvig provided a lot of speed to give the Devils a transition game, and a lot of skill and creativity, particularly useful
when the power play was involved. Which kinda surprises me that he only had one 20-goal season. I think he could have had a
couple more.

Injuries (not sure what kind) did mount later in his career. I'm not sure if they started while in New Jersey or when the Sabres
had him. I DO know that as a Sabre, in 2 seasons, he only played 26 games. It would be what lead to his retirement.

In 2001, he attempted a comeback with HC Bili Tygri in his hometown, playing in 6 games but only getting an assist.

He did return to the Devils to join the scouting department as one of their pro scouts, where he sits today.
