New Jersey Devils vs New York Islanders Team News
New Jersey Devils Team News
The New Jersey Devils are missing some key players and aren't sure who will be in their lineup ahead of their game against the New York Islanders.
Defenseman Dougie Hamilton is still out with an injury to his pectoral muscle, and forward Nathan Bastian is also out with an injury to his upper body.
The Devils' offense could also be affected by star center Jack Hughes's day-to-day status with an upper-body injury. This makes their offensive strategy less certain.
Additionally, forward Tomas Nosek's condition is still unknown because of an undisclosed injury. This makes it harder for the Devils to decide who to play and how deep they should be for the next game.
