Jesper Bratt and Cory Schneider could both make significant steps toward getting back into the Devils' lineup this week.
Bratt is scheduled to resume skating on his own on Thursday, exactly two weeks after he suffered a broken jaw in Sweden. Schneider, who has been just practicing while recovering from May hip surgery, could be looking at his first game action very soon.
"Jesper's going to start skating on Thursday, just by himself, but get back on the ice and doing some things," Devils coach John Hynes said.
