For starters, the Devils lineup tonight was all kinds of wonky.
Jordin Tootoo is out due to the injury he sustained in Tuesday’s game against St. Louis. Bobby Farnham is out for four games because of his interference call, also in Tuesday’s game.
The Devils reactivated Ruutu from IR and they also allowed Matteau and Gelinas back into the lineup.
The Devils had Kyle Palmieri working double duty on shifts and even went so far as to make bold moves like Gelinas being used as a forward.
