Tatar will take a seat on Friday after drawing into the lineup for Wednesday's game in Los Angeles. Tatar has eight goals and 14 assists in 67 games with the Kraken and Avalanche this season.

Willman played the last four games for the Devils and scored two goals while averaging less than seven minutes of ice time but will return to the Utica Comets (AHL). The 29-year-old Willman has 21 points (11G / 10A) in 31 games with Utica this season.

Wendt is an undrafted 23-year-old out of Michigan who has spent the last three seasons playing collegiate hockey. He scored 44 points (23G / 21A) in 38 games with Western Michigan University in the 2023-24 season.

Anthony Beauvillier will draw into the lineup on Thursday, sending Glass to the press box as a healthy scratch. Glass has five points (3G / 2A) in his last six games despite being held off the scoresheet four times.

Willman will unfortunately be the odd man out as Kurtis MacDermid (lower body) returns to the Devils' lineup on Wednesday vs. the Rangers. The 29-year-old Willman will lose his seat for some strength in the lineup but has played very well in a limited role this season, with three goals, four points,17 SOG and two PIMs in 18 games played while averaging only 8:19 TOI/GP.

MacDermid has missed the Devils' previous four games due to a lower-body injury but will return for the second half of their back-to-back on Wednesday vs. the Rangers. The 30-year-old bruising hybrid player chose a good day to return as many are expecting him to finally square up with New York's Matthew Rempe. He has an assist, three SOG and 30 PIMs in 10 games played with the Devils since being acquired at the trade deadline.

Tatar has served the last four games as a healthy scratch but will draw back into the lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. The Slovak forward has struggled this season and has zero points in his last six contests.

Siegenthaler has been sidelined with a concussion since March 11th. He'll draw back into the Devils' lineup as they continue to make a push for an unlikely postseason bid. The Devils did not confirm who will come out to make room for Siegenthaler, who has nine points (1G / 8A) in 49 games this season.

The Devils will turn to Allen for a third consecutive game when they host the Penguins on Tuesday night. Allen allowed three goals on 34 shots enroute to a 5-2 loss to the Sabres on Friday. The 33-year-old netminder owns a 4-3-0 record and a .923 SV% in seven starts since being acquired from the Canadiens. He draws a favourable matchup on Tuesday with the Devils being -170 favourites against a tired Penguins team that will be playing their second game in as many nights.

The Flames are fresh off an impressive 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings and will roll with Markstrom in the crease for a second straight game. Markstrom has seen limited action the last month due to injuries but has allowed three or fewer goals in three straight (1-2-0), including saving 16 of 18 shots (.889 SV%) in his last outing. The Flames enter action on Tuesday as significant -233 home favourites.

Kaiden Guhle will return to the Canadiens' lineup after serving a one-game suspension and will replace Kovacevic. Kovacevic played 16:05 time-on-ice and recorded three shots on goal in his last contest.

Hatakka was a healthy scratch for the Devils' last two games and was reassigned to Utica (AHL) on Monday. The 23-year-old picked up two assists during his 12-game showing with New Jersey and is expected to be replaced by the returning Jonas Sieganthaler (concussion).

With Kaiden Guhle receiving a one-game suspension for a slash, Jonathan Kovacevic will take his spot and return to Montreal's lineup on Saturday vs. Carolina. The 26-year-old has impressed during his 55 game stint this season, with his six goals, nine points, 40 PIMs and +9 plus/minus.

The Devils will turn right back to Allen after his outstanding performance in Toronto on Tuesday. The 33-year-old netminder stopped 42 of the 45 shots he faced as the Devils downed the Maple Leafs by a score of 6-3. Allen has posted a 4-2-0 record and an impressive .925 SV% across six starts with the Devils since being acquired from the Canadiens. He's got a great chance of staying in the win column on Friday as the Devils find themselves as -130 favourites in Buffalo.

Glass will get the chance to play in Arizona on Thursday as Anthony Beauvillier draws out of the lineup. Glass has five goals and five assists in 36 games this season.

Sprong will draw in for Patrick Kane, who is a late scratch due to illness. Sprong has 17 goals and 23 assists in 68 games this season.

Gruden will take a seat on Thursday as Jeff Carter draws back into the Penguins' lineup. Gruden has one goal in 13 NHL games this season.
