Practice Details

The Devils started practice with a split squad. The forwards hit the main ice while the defensemen and goaltenders started on the practice ice.

After 15 minutes, the forwards joined the rest of the group on the practice ice to finish out practice.

Center Cody Glass, who was held out of Sunday’s practice, joined the group for today’s practice session. Injured defenseman Johnny Kovacevic and forward Marc McLaughlin also took part in practice.

He Said It:

Keefe on Jack Hughes not taking faceoffs: “It is part of easing him back in. It’s not a physical thing. He’s physically capable of it. It’s more of a mental piece. He’s a guy that doesn’t take a lot of faceoffs even when he’s fully healthy. He’s getting back into it here now … As far as when he’ll take faceoffs, I’m hoping sooner than later. I think when he’s confident and comfortable to be able to take them on.”
