Butcher sets Devils record with 3 points in NHL debut

Will Butcher's first regular-season game was a memorable one to say the least.

The New Jersey Devils rookie tallied three assists in the Devils' 4-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche setting a new franchise mark for most points by a player making their NHL debut.

He also became just the fifth defenseman in the expansion era (since 1967-68) to record three points in his first NHL contest.

In case all of that wasn't enough for the 22-year-old, Butcher accomplished the feat against the club that originally drafted him in the fifth round back in 2013 out of the U.S. National Development Team - before he elected to become a free agent and sign with the Devils this offseason.

That's got to sting.
