The Maple Leafs returned to action this past Saturday from the All Star break with a 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens in Toronto. And as usual, the storied rivalry lived up to fans' expectations, and those of 28 -year-old Devereaux - who was yet to play against Montreal since being called up to Toronto on Dec. 28. "I was looking forward to this game all week. It's a real neat tradition and it was a lot of fun - the crowd was electric," said Devereaux after the game. "This was a great way to come back from the break." Against Montreal, Devereaux logged just over 16 minutes of ice time - several on the penalty kill - and recorded two shots and two penalty minutes on a holding call in the second period. In 12 games with the Maple Leafs since coming up from the AHL's Toronto Marlies, Devereaux has two goals and six assists, with a plus/minus of plus five. And while his strong play has contributed to his renewed confidence in him- self, it appears that Devereaux is also building the confidence of his coach- ing staff, which despite the return of several Maple Leafs from the injured list, has kept him on the Leafs' 27 -man roster. And as Devereaux points out, the coaching staff has been great in giving him lots of ice time each game. "I feel really good. I'm taking it game by game, but I feel like I'm contribut- ing," said Devereaux.
