Zajac, a forward, did not travel with the Devils. ... Reinhart missed practice on Friday with an upper-body injury; the forward is day to day and will be evaluated Saturday morning. Thompson skated in his place at practice and could replace him in the lineup. … Jokiharju returned to practice after missing the past two games with an undisclosed injury and will likely play against the Devils.
