Curtis Lazar of the New Jersey Devils is sidelined due to a lower body injury sustained in a previous game. Both Curtis Lazar and Kurtis MacDermid are considered 'day-to-day' and are traveling to Toronto. In response, the Devils have recalled Brian Halonen from Utica (AHL) as a reinforcement. Halonen is present with the team in Toronto, filling in as insurance for the absent players. He is also a placeholder for Jack Hughes, who is available to play despite not participating in the morning skate.
