Havlat (face) appears doubtful to play Friday against the Stars, Tom Gulitti of the Bergen Record reports. Though Havlat returned to the lineup Tuesday after painful cuts on his face forced him to sit out the Devils' previous game, it sounds like the forward might have suffered a setback in his return. He's been absent for practice for each of the last two days, and barring some quick healing overnight, it looks like he'll be in the press box Friday night.
