NEWARK - It took John Quenneville a matter of seconds to deliver the first goal of the 3-on-3 competition at Devils development camp on Wednesday, marking the start of another strong day for the Devils prospect.

The 20-year-old and 2014 first-round pick led his team to the final after going 3-0 in round robin play in the tournament, and Quenneville showed off his skills throughout the day.

Going through another development camp with his eyes on this season, he's using the play to gauge what he needs to improve upon.

"You need to measure yourself up with yourself, and know what your deficiencies are in your game and know what you need to improve on," Quenneville said.

Quenneville is coming off a 73-point season for the Brandon Wheat Kings, and he added another 27 points in a 21-game playoff run to the WHL title.

The center said he was happy with the strides he made during the winter, and was happy to contribute in a big way to his team's championship.

"It's always good for any player that is able to play on a championship team," he said. "Winning will do good for anyone, no matter what sport or what walk of life you're in. It improves you as a player and a person."

While Quenneville said development camp has a different feel and style from NHL training camp, he said it still provides a good break from summer training to do something different around other prospects.

"I like to be back here, be around the guys. It's a nice week for us. We get to do a few different things and also improve ourselves," he said. "I think there's a lot of areas where guys can learn things, pick up things, in a week's time, and take them back to wherever they're doing their summer offseason training."
