Status report
Lazar will play after missing 21 games with a knee injury and replace Dowling, a forward. The Devils placed Dowling on waivers Tuesday with the intention of assigning him to Utica of the American Hockey League. ... Faksa took part in the morning skate, but the forward will miss his fourth straight game. Coach Jim Montgomery said, "He's getting closer. A real good sign today." ... Sundqvist will replace Texier, a forward, after being a healthy scratch Sunday.
