Dave Steckel - C - New Jersey Devils
March 1, 2011 - 8:00 AM ET

Dave Steckel will likely end up being New Jersey's third-line center.

He leads the NHL with a 63.7 winning percentage in the faceoff circle and he should help the team's penalty kill as well. Steckel was acquired from Washington on Monday, along with a second-rounder in 2012, in exchange for Jason Arnott and he should fit nicely into the Devils' lineup.
