THE SCOOP

It's the dress rehersal for the regular season when the Devils visit the Islanders for the fourth and final preseason game this year. The expectation is that both the Devils and Islanders will be icing a full NHL roster on each side to amp up the competition in the final game before they start playing for real.

All but one of the Devils rosters spots are locked in, with a fourth line wing position up for grabs. Against the Islanders it will be Amadeus Lombardi skating with Cody Glass and Connor Brown. It will be Lombardi's third preseason game, yet another opportunity to make a push for the NHL roster. Jesper Boqvist and Stefan Noesen suited up against the Rangers on Thursday night and maxed out their two preseason game limit as veterans. 

On Friday, the Devils made their first batch of cuts to the roster, where forward Lenni Hämeenaho and defenseman Anton Silaev were both assigned to the American Hockey League. You can check out the full round of cuts here.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Devils: Amadeus Lombardi is looking to secure himself a spot in the Devils lineup. On Thursday he played in his natural position as a centerman with Boqvist and Noesen on his wings. He'll try and take advantage of being versatile, something that has been asked of him by the coaching staff, playing alongside Glass and Brown on the Devils fourth line.
