PRE-GAME STORY

ELMONT, N.Y. - The Devils held their morning skate at UBS Arena ahead of facing the Islanders. The team had all expected players on the ice and injured forward Nathan Bastian (upper-body).
The team used the following workflow…
Meier - Hischier - Bratt
Palat - Hughes - Mercer
Sharangovich - Haula - Tatar
Wood - McLeod - Foote / Boqvist / Bastian
Siegenthaler - Hamilton
Graves - Marino
Bahl / Smith - Severso
Vitek Vanecek worked the crease on the starter's side.
Bass Fishin'
Bastian has been out of the lineup since March 12 with an upper-body injury.
"First step and progression of getting back in," head coach Lindy Ruff said. "Getting back into practice. He's been skating on his own. Today back out shooting and in the mix with line rushes. He's progressing along. He should be back in the lineup in the near future."
All Gas, No Breaks
The Devils clinched a playoff spot Saturday night, but the team still has nine games remaining on the schedule and a lot still at stake.
The club has an outside shot at catching Carolina for the top spot in the Metro Division (three points back but the Hurricanes have a game in hand). Even if New Jersey doesn't catch Carolina, the Devils want to lock in the No. 2 seed to get home-ice advantage in the opening round. They have a four-point edge on the New York Rangers.
"Carolina has had a great year. We're chasing them," defenseman Damon Severson said. "We want to set our standards high and not just try to hold our position. We're trying to win every game still."
"The one thing you want to do it maintain a high level of hockey," Ruff said. "You don't want to be sloppy. You want to play your game. You want to make sure you're determined in all three zones. You want to win games. You're going to play them, you have to play to win. You have to keep your level of compete high."
The Devils can't rest on their laurels. And so it may be beneficial that the Devils' next two opponents are their two closest division rivals with the Islanders, who are competing for a playoff spot, tonight and the Rangers, trying to catch the Devils, coming to Jersey Thursday.
"The Islanders are in a fight to maintain their position. The Rangers are a team that's right on our heels," Ruff said. "Two important games for us. Both of these rivals are right next door."
Back In
Severson has played nine seasons for the Devils and has only took part in one playoff series (2018). Clinching a postseason berth was all the more meaningful to him.
"It's exciting because there aren't many of us on the team since the last time we were in the playoffs," "It's been a long time for me. A lot of tough years here. I get we were in a rebuild and stuff like that. It's part of the whole process. To finally be able to say we clinched a playoff spot with games still to play is exciting."
