Most of us remember Mallette from when he broke in with the New York Rangers as a regular on the lower lines... and in
column 6 with all the fistacuffs he got involved in.
For a couple years after he left them, he wasn't quite the same player. That's largely because he wasn't seeing as much game
action as he did in Manhattan. And in said couple years, that includes his time as a Devil.
If nothing else, he did get to show a defensive side, as he was plus on the season for both years he played with them.
He wasn't really going anywhere with the Devils, though, but the trade to Ottawa did give him a rejuvenation and he became a
regular in their lineup for 3 seasons, although injuries did limit his games in the lockout season to 23.
He played one season with the Boston Bruins after he left the Sens, then was set to play for the Tampa Bay Lightning in 97-98.
His season there barely got off the ground; a back injury against Chicago cut his season to just 3 games, as well as ending his
career that October.
