NEWARK -- Michael Cammalleri said his daughters won't kiss him with his new mustache, and he will need to wait until the end of the season to shave it off.

Cammalleri, along with Devils teammates Taylor Hall, Andy Greene, Steven Santini, Ben Lovejoy and Stefan Noesen, will all sport mustaches until the end of the season after losing a ping pong contest against the rest of the Devils.

Coach John Hynes created a ping pong contest for the Devils, dividing the players into teams and having one player represent each group. The above team was eliminated first, subjecting them to several "punishments."

The mustaches won out, wth Cammalleri saying goalies Cory Schneider and Keith Kinkaid serving as the brains behind the idea.

"This is my first and hopefully my last," Cammalleri said.

The fate of the team came down to one player representing the group, but Cammalleri wouldn't spill the beans on who cost them.

"We win or lose as a group," Cammalleri laughed. "I honestly don't remember. Now my daughters won't kiss me."
