The New Jersey Devils enter tonight’s matchup against the Ottawa Senators with a couple of lingering health questions hanging over…
The New Jersey Devils have prepared a contingency plan ahead of Monday's game against the Ottawa Senators as forward Luke Evangelista battles an illness. Evangelista missed Monday's morning skate, though head coach Sheldon Keefe expressed optimism that the winger could still suit up. Stefan Noesen was recalled from the AHL's Utica Comets and skated on a line with Timo Meier and Nico Hischier as a potential replacement.
