Pelech is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will not play tonight in Washington. With Pelech sidelined, Thomas Hickey will re-enter the lineup.

With Brian Boyle returning to the Devils’ lineup on Wednesday, they needed to make room on the roster by playing Palmieri on IR. The move is retroactive, so Palmieri is eligible to return whenever he is healthy.

Palmieri has missed the last two games with a left foot injury and will not travel on the Devils’ Western Canada trip. With Palmieri out, Drew Stafford will remain on the top-line and Jesper Bratt will stay in the top-6.
Miska, 22, has gone 3-0-0 despite posting a 4.02 GAA and .884 SV% in four games with Tucson this season. Miska getting called up suggests that Antti Raanta (lower-body) isn’t ready to go on Monday. Look for Miska to backup Scott Wedgewood, who will likely make his Coyotes debut tonight.
Palmieri has been battling a lower-body injury since last weekend and hasn’t skate since Sunday, so he will be held out of the lineup tonight vs. the Senators. Consider him questionable at best for tomorrow’s game.
