Status report
MacDermid will return for the Devils after the defenseman missed four games with a lower-body injury. … The Devils did not have a morning skate after losing 6-3 at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday. … Rempe is expected to play after being a healthy scratch for three straight games. … Gustafsson has missed four straight games with an upper-body injury. He isn't confirmed to play, but he skated in a regular practice jersey in practice Tuesday and did not stay on the ice for an extra skating session in an optional morning skate Wednesday, an indication that he will return to the lineup. If he plays, it will be his first game since March 23.
