Keys to the Game

Pavel Zacha Returns

After a non-COVID-related illness kept him out of the lineup on Friday, Pavel Zacha is set to return today. Zacha is one of the Devils’ hottest trade chips, so having him healthy will benefit both parties. It’ll be interesting to see if Zacha is limited at all in his first game back from his illness.

Other Injuries

That being said, it does seem like this non-COVID illness is spreading around the team. According to Amanda Stein, Jimmy Vesey was absent from yesterday’s practice because of it.

On top of this, Stein reported that Nico Hischier and Nathan Bastian were taking “maintenance days” and were not present at yesterday’s skate. However, they will likely play today.

Today’s game will air on MSG+ at 1:00 PM ET.
