41. Chris Terreri

41. Chris Terreri

Prior to his arrival in New Jersey (but after he was drafted), Chris Terreri was the MVP of the NCAA Tournament, although his team (Providence) lost the final game to RPI.  After a cup of coffee with the Devils in 1986-87, he sat out to participate for the United States in the 1988 Olympics, and two years later, he was the primary Goalie for the Devils until the arrival of Martin Brodeur. Nevertheless, he was a competent backup and was part of New Jersey's 1995 Stanley Cup winning Team.

 Terreri would later be traded but returned for a second stint where he again was Brodeur's backup in another Stanley Cup winning season (2000).
