San Jose Sharks
Devin was expected to start playing for the San Jose Sharks in the 2007–08 season. However, he got injured and began the season with the Worcester Sharks. This team was San Jose's minor league affiliate.
He played two games in Worcester before joining the San Jose Sharks. Devin scored his first two NHL goals on October 29, 2007. This happened in his very first NHL game against the Dallas Stars. He was the first Sharks rookie to score two goals in his debut game!
Devin moved between the Sharks and Worcester a few times to get more playing time. On April 15, 2008, he played in his first Stanley Cup playoff game. He helped set up a goal that tied the game, and the Sharks went on to win.
In the 2008–09 season, Devin often played on the Sharks' top line with star players Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau. On April 25, 2009, he scored his first playoff goal. This helped the Sharks win a game against the Anaheim Ducks.
During the 2010–11 season, Devin had a fantastic game on February 19, 2011. He scored his first ever NHL hat-trick (three goals in one game) in a 4–0 win against the Colorado Avalanche. He also scored important overtime goals in the playoffs against the Los Angeles Kings and the Detroit Red Wings.
