NEWARK, NJ – Check back shortly after Devils Morning Skate Tuesday around 11:00 AM ET.
THE SCOOP
The Devils continue their pre-season schedule on Tuesday, hosting the New York Islanders.
New Jersey dropped a 5-3 decision in their exhibition season opener on Sunday at home against the New York Rangers. Arseny Gritsyuk scored a goal and had an assist in his first game in a Devils uniform.
The Islanders also played on Sunday, falling 3-2 in a shootout at home to the Philadelphia Flyers. Kyle Palmieri had a goal and an assist in the losing effort for the home side.
LINEUPS
Devils: Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe noted after practice on Monday that the players who skated will closely resemble what the team puts on the ice Tuesday night when they host the New York Islanders at Prudential Center at 7 p.m. ET.
“There will be some changes from what we saw today,” he said. “By and large, anyone that was with us last season (and didn’t play Sunday) will get their first game tomorrow.”
That lineup included players such as Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, Timo Meier, Nico Hischier, Dougie Hamilton, Brett Pesce, Jacob Markstrom and more.
Islanders: The Islanders haven’t announced their lineup for the game, but being the road team it’s likely that they’ll go with a younger group. Sunday against the Flyers, the Islanders dressed veterans Anders Lee, Kyle Palmieri, Bo Horvat, Mat Barzal, Jonathan Drouin and first-overall pick Matthew Schaefer among others. Many of those players probably won’t make the trip across state lines.
INJURIES
Devils: Kovacevic (lower body) is out; Noesen (lower body) is out; Lachance (undisclosed) is day-to-day; Hameenaho (undisclosed) is day-to-day.
Islanders: Aitcheson (undisclosed) is day-to-day.
