Sergei Brylin was not a superstar hockey player by any means, but his versatility and defensive skills made him valuable to a New Jersey Devils team that valued role players.

Brylin was usually playing at Left Wing, but the Russian could be slotted in at any offensive position without sacrificing anything to the lineup. He was a very good defensive forward and a fixture on lower lines, though he did have three 40-Point years, peaking with 53 in 2000-01. Brylin had 308 Points over his NHL career (1994-08), all of which were as a Devil.

Brylin is one of only five players to have been on the roster for all three of New Jersey’s Stanley Cup wins.
