It's been an emotional Saturday for members of the Devils Family. Tonight, the club said goodbye to one of their greats, Patrik Elias. Elias skated #PattysLastLap, a final farewell to the fans during tonight's warmups. There wasn't a dry-eye in Prudential Center when Patrik was surprised by his wife, Petra, and two daughters, Sophia and Kaila, for tonight's puck drop. Former teammate and current Islander Stephen Gionta represented the Islanders for the ceremony. It was a fitting tribute to an outstanding career for the Devils' all-time leader in goals, points and assists. Check out all the behind-the-scenes action, starting from the Elias household up to his final moments on the ice.
