David Clarkson

Mar 31, 2008 | By Ben Chaisson | Players Articles Archive

(born March 31, 1984, Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian ice hockey forward who currently plays for the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League. Clarkson won a Memorial Cup in 2003 with the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League.

Playing Career

Following a successful junior career, the undrafted winger was signed as a free agent by the New Jersey Devils in August 2005. He was assigned to the Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League in September 2005. He would go on to play the majority of the 2006-2007 season with the Devils new farm team, the Lowell Devils, before being a late season call-up to New Jersey.

Clarkson played his first game on March 15th, 2007 at Carolina. Two days later Clarkson scored his first NHL goal with the New Jersey Devils and his first assist in a 7-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. This was Clarkson's second NHL game. He would go to finish the season with New Jersey, including 3 playoff games, and start the next season in the NHL.

Clarkson played in the Youngstars game in Atlanta during the 56th NHL All-Star Game SuperSkills Competition, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists. He was the lone Devils representative at the festivities, as Martin Brodeur (who was voted in) did not participate. He was the second consecutive Devil to make an impact at this event, as Zach Parise took part the previous year.

As of March 2008, he is 6th in the NHL in penalty minutes.
