Holik was already a good two-way player, and he found a niche as one-third of the "Crash Line" with Mike Peluso and Randy McKay. Holik and his linemates were not there to score but were primed to hit and punish, which helped New Jersey win the 1995 Stanley Cup.
Holik would blossom into a more rounded player and scorer, scoring at least 60 Points from 1996-97 to 1998-99. Holik was fifth in Selke Voting in 1997-98, and he had two more top-ten Selke finishes (2000-01 & 2001-02) with the Center going over 50 Points in both years. A second Stanley Cup ring was also in the cards for Holik, who helped lead New Jersey to a title in 2001.
In 2002, Holik signed with the New York Rangers, ending his Devils run with 473 Points.
