Among those players who showed up at the Prudential Center for physicals Saturday morning was former Buffalo Sabres fighter Andrew Peters.
The 6-4, 225-pound left winger is in Devils camp on a tryout basis.
Peters, 29, has played 200 NHL games and has 557 penalty minutes with seven points (four goals, three assists). Last season with the Sabres, his fifth, he played 28 games and had one assist with 81 PIM.
“We just feel the dimension he brings is unique,” general manager Lou Lamoriello said. “I’d spoken to him on and off. The decision was to come to camp. He’s here. We’ll go from there.”

Andrew Peters Looking For Work

from John Vogl of the Buffalo News,
Andrew Peters knows there’s still a place for enforcers in the NHL. He also knows Buffalo isn’t one of those places.
The Sabres’ designated tough guy for the last five seasons has resigned himself to the fact he won’t be back for a sixth.
“I don’t even know if there’s been a discussion with Buffalo and my agent at all,” Peters said by phone Monday. “I know that there wasn’t up until July 1, and I don’t think there has been one since.
“It’s unfortunate, but I’ve enjoyed my time here. I’ve loved my time here. I’ve been through good times and bad, with successful teams and not-so-much. I’ve made some lifelong friends and played with some unbelievable guys. If that’s what I come out of hockey with is great friendships and 200 games in the NHL — more than I ever thought I’d play — I did it with a great organization.”

from Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News,
Replays clearly showed Peters yelling, “he [bleeping] bit me” and the action was frozen on the arena’s HD board as Ruutu sank his teeth on to Peters’ thumb and ripped off the glove.
“I’ve never experienced that before,” said a stunned Peters, whose broken skin was bandaged but not stitched afterward. “I’ve been involved in a few altercations, too. I’ve never had anyone bite me before. I didn’t know that even happened for real. I saw the replay of it and it’s pretty evident he did bite me....
Facing several different media inquiries, Ruutu repeatedly proclaimed his innocence against the overwhelming video evidence.
“I didn’t bite him,” Ruutu said. “He had his glove in my mouth but I didn’t bite him.”
more and if you missed the video from last night, here it is.
added 10:11am, ESPN zoomed in on the bite, watch below…
