Paddy!”Always a fan favorite, Elias walked through a section of the stands at the Prudential Center before taking his place on the ice with his wife Martin Frk Jersey , two daughters, former and current teammates and the franchise’s owners and management.The podium on the ice was shaped as a puck with the No. 26 on it, and it was by surrounded by other super-sized pucks with the same number and two trophies, the Stanley Cup and The Prince of Wales trophy, presented to the Eastern Conference winner.Elias played on four conference champions, scoring the winning goal in Game 7 against Philadelphia in 2000.Elias is the first European player to have his number retired by the Devils, and the first forward.
