According to Tom Gulitti, Ruutu may be back for the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, but was used as an extra skater during practice. Ruutu has seen action in eight games this season without tallying a point.
Gulitti also reports that Jordin Tootoo took a puck to the face on a pass from Eric Gelinas during practice Friday. Tootoo was able to skate off the ice under his own power, and even returned to finish practice.
Mike Cammalleri sat out Friday’s practice, but was strictly a rest day. He’s expected in the lineup on Saturday against the Stars.
