The Devils have found diamonds in the rough like Brian Gionta in the Entry Draft's later rounds.

newjerseydevils.com – The Devils' past first-round selections have included current players such as Zach Parise, Travis Zajac and four-time Vezina Trophy winner Martin Brodeur. But a look at the 2008-09 roster shows a collection of players selected in the Draft's later rounds.

The Devils will be looking to add to that talent at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft at Montreal's Bell Centre on Friday (7 p.m. ET, VERSUS). Rounds 2-7 will be Saturday, June 27 (10 a.m. ET, NHLN, RDS).

A second-round selection, Elias became the Devils' all-time leading scorer last season.

Here's a look at some of the players on the current roster who were drafted by Devils in the second round or later:

Jay Pandolfo (LW) - Taken 32nd overall, in the 1993 Entry Draft, Pandolfo is a 12-year veteran that hoisted the Cup with New Jersey in 2000 and 2003. Pandolfo's 767 career games played ranks eighth in club history, and he owns the fourth-longest consecutive games streak (307) by a Devil after Ken Daneyko (388), Sergei Brylin (328) and Kirk Muller (321).

A native of Winchester, Mass., Pandolfo was voted by his teammates as the club's Unsung Hero five times (1999, 2003, 2005-08) and was named the Players' Player in three straight seasons from 2005-08.

The native of Trebic, Czech Rep., holds the team record for game-winning goals (66), and is the Devils' all-time postseason points leader (40g-73a-113pts). He has a team-high 19 career power-play postseason goals, and is tied for first in club history with six playoff game-winners.

Elias was a key member of the Devils' championships in 2000 and 2003. He scored the game-winning goal against Philadelphia in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, when the Devils became the first team to overcome a 3-1 series deficit to advance to the Stanley Cup Final.

Clemmensen, who entered the season with eight career wins, earned the starting role and went on to make a career-high 40 appearances. With regular playing time, Clemmensen shattered his previous single-season best of three wins. He finished with a mark of 25-13-1, including a 2.54 goals-against average and two shutouts.

In 473 career games, Gionta has 152 goals and 160 assists for 312 points. He scored the first Devils' goal in Prudential Center history on Oct. 27, 2007, and has been one of the club's most durable players over the past two seasons, having missed just one regular season game.
