The Devils will open preseason play with two split-squad games on Monday, with one group of players hosting the Rangers at Prudential Center in Newark, while another group will visit the Montreal Canadiens Bell Centre in Montreal.
Devils veterans will be equally divided among the two rosters. MVP Taylor Hall will stay home to play against the Rangers, along with Nico Hischier, Jesper Bratt, Brian Boyle, Andy Greene and Sami Vatanen.
2018 first-round pick Ty Smith will also play his first game at Prudential Center.
Pavel Zacha, Marcus Johansson, Kyle Palmieri, Will Butcher and Travis Zajac will be among the players on the road in Montreal.
