Bryce Salvador (bruised wrist) won't play against the Ottawa Senators on Friday. X-rays on the wrist were negative but Pete DeBoer did call the injury a "significant" bruise Thursday. DeBoer said Friday that Salvador is "not good enough to play." Salvador is playing though a number of injuries at the moment and looks like a shell of his former self most nights.

X-rays on Bryce Salvador's wrist were negative but the defenseman still has a "fairly significant bruise." Salvador's status for Friday's game against the Senators is unknown. The Devils captain took a Zdeno Chara slapshot off his wrist during Wednesday night's game and couldn't even grip his stick afterward. We should know more after Friday's morning skate.

Bryce Salvador will be re-evaluated Thursday after taking a Zdeno Chara slap shot off his wrist. "He's pretty banged up," coach Peter DeBoer said. "You stand in front of a Chara slap shot, it takes a lot of guts to do that and that's why he's our captain." Salvador's wrist was probably fractured on the play, which means he could be done for the year, but we'll wait for official word from the team regarding his status.

Bryce Salvador left Wednesday's game with a wrist injury. The defenseman was injured in the second period, having played just 6:15 with a minus-one rating. With Anton Volchenkov getting ejected, the Devils played some of the second and all of the third period with four defensemen. Salvador will be re-evaluated on Thursday.

Bryce Salvador left Thursday's game during the first period for a few shifts due to what he called an equipment malfunction. Salvador left after taking a hip check to his right hip and knee. Salvador says his knee brace came undone but it looked much worse than that. Salvador could barely put any pressure on his leg as he glided off the ice and it's pretty clear he's playing at significantly less than 100 percent.

Bryce Salvador returned to action on Friday March 29.

Bryce Salvador (lower body) says he'll be in the lineup for Friday's game against the Lightning. Salvador left Monday's game with the injury but practiced fully on Thursday and appears ready to go. Despite his status as the Devils' captain and one of their top defensemen, Salvador has no real fantasy value.

Bryce Salvador (lower body) and Stephen Gionta (upper body) don't have serious injuries, according to New Jersey GM Lou Lamoriello. Both of them were injured in Monday's shootout loss to Ottawa. "They are status quo. They went on the trip. They did nothing today, so we'll see how they are tomorrow," Lamoriello said on Tuesday. "Hopefully it will be day to day, but we don't know."

Bryce Salvador exited Monday's shootout loss to Ottawa in the first period with a lower-body injury. The Devils don't play again until Friday at Tampa, so the club has time to assess the damage and see if he'll be ready to go by then. Salvador has two assists, 20 penalty minutes, 65 blocks and a minus-6 rating in 32 games this season.

Bryce Salvador returned to action on Sunday March 10.
