After getting knocked silly by a Ryan Pulock slap shot on Tuesday night which caused some missing teeth and a bleeding mouth, Mackenzie Blackwood missed practice on Wednesday. He instead had a date with the dentist.
"A three hour appointment with the dentist, he had some work done," said Devils interim head coach Alain Nasreddine. "He should be back with us (later) today."
Nasreddine added that he hasn't made a decision on whether to go back with Blackwood on Thursday night or to go with Louis Domingue. Domingue was recently recalled from Binghamton after playing a few games there following a stint on IR.
"My health is good," Domingue noted. "Went down there and had two good games."
