21. Brian Gionta

From Rochester, New York, Brian Gionta played collegiately at Boston College, where he took the Eagles to two Frozen Fours.  Drafted in the Third Round in 1998, Gionta arrived in New Jersey during the 2001-02 Season, and a year later, he played a minor role in the Devils 2003 Stanley Cup win.

 

Following the 2004-05 lockout, Gionta went from 29 Points in the 2003-04 Season to 89 Points in the 2005-06 campaign.  This was not a year that the American could duplicate, but he had two more years where he scored over 50 Points.  

His run with the Devils ended in 2009 when he signed with Montreal.  He left New Jersey with 312 Points.
