COLUMBUS, Ohio — Devils' right winger Kyle Palmieri will be in the lineup Saturday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena despite a minor lower body injury suffered in the last game.
Palmieri, who did not practice Friday, took part in Saturday's optional morning skate and said he was okay to play.
Devils' right winger Devante Smith-Pelly, acquired from the Montreal Canadiens in a trade at the deadline, has been among the team's most productive players since arriving. Smith-Pelly talks about whether he's found the perfect team and if he hopes to remain with the Devils long term.
