NEWARK -- Devils defenseman Damon Severson didn't expect to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
The decision not to play him in a 3-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues was out of his control, and he was back in the lineup for the Devils' next two games at the Prudential Center.
He netted his second goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers, and since Tuesday, he has just been focusing on his strengths and style of play on the ice.
