Devils lose forwards Elias, Jagr, Gionta to injury
New Jersey Devils forwards Jaromir Jagr and Patrik Elias sustained apparent injuries during New Jersey’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday at Consol Energy Center.

PITTSBURGH -- New Jersey Devils forwards Jaromir Jagr and Patrik Elias sustained apparent injuries during the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday at Consol Energy Center.

Jagr was sent into the boards by Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo with 2:03 remaining in the second period. Jagr remained on the ice for minutes as Devils trainers attended to him.

The former Penguin, who leads New Jersey with 15 points this season, received a round of applause from the crowd when he skated off the ice under his own power and down the runway.

Elias did not return following the first intermission after 5:09 of ice time in the period. Neither Jagr nor Elias returned for the start of the third period.

New Jersey also lost forward Stephen Gionta late in the first period. He seemed to favor his foot as he headed to the Devils locker room.

Penguins forward Scott Wilson, who was making his NHL debut, left the game in the second period because of an apparent injury.
