Defenseman Mirco Mueller did not participate in the Devils' Friday practice in Newark. He sat out for a maintenance day, according to coach John Hynes.
Hynes expects Mueller to play in Sunday's game against the San Jose Sharks.
Mueller played 21:22 of Thursday's 6-0 home win over the Washington Capitals, and defensive partner Sami Vatanen was the only Devil to see more ice time in the game at 24:45.
Mueller finished the game without any apparent complications. He played at least eight shifts in each period, including eight in the third period.
