THREE THINGS: Sharangovich's Breakout Season Here's Three Things you need to know about forward Yegor Sharangovich's rookie campaign by Sam Kasan samikasan / NewJerseyDevils.com The Devils played 10 rookies during the 2020-21 campaign, with seven of them making their NHL debuts during the year. Though defenseman Ty Smith would most likely take the mantle for the team's Rookie of the Year, fellow novice Yegor Sharangovich would likely take the superlative of "Most Surprising Rookie." Smith, 21, entered the season with the pedigree of a first-round pick (17th overall) from the 2018 NHL Draft.
