The Devils hit the ice Friday afternoon at the RWJ Barnabas Hockey House inside Prudential Center for practice. New Jersey has one more games in a four-game homestand with the Anaheim Ducks Saturday.
Captain Nico Hischier and forwards Miles Wood, Janne Kuokkanen and Tyce Thompson all joined the group in no-contact jerseys.
"A step in the right direction," head coach Lindy Ruff said of Wood. "A non-contact, really non-participant jersey. Just out there in the flow, taking shots, not really involved in any of the drills. Thrilled to see all those guys out there today."
"Getting better," Ruff said of Hischier. "It really depends on his reaction to it today, but great to see him out there skating."
