New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is out with a neck injury and is listed as day to day.
Who will be the goaltender tonight against the Detroit Red Wings? Jon Gillies or Akira Schmid?
If it is Gilles, he would be the 6th goaltender that the Devils have used this season, which would be a franchise record according to Kyle McKenna.
With P.K. Subban, Nico Hischier, Ryan Graves, and Christian Jaros in the NHL Covid protocol, the Devils will need to figure out how to get past Red Wings. But this presents a great opportunity to those on the roster who normally don't get to play with big club, like Kevin Bahl and Marian Studenic.
Family Affair
Congratulations to the Fitzgerald family as Casey Fitzgerald made his NHL debut!
