General manager Lou Lamoriello said Ruutu (illness) is "very doubtful" to join the Devils for the remaining three games on their road trip, Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Both Ruutu and Jaromir Jagr continue to deal with significant cases of the flu and haven't been progressing as quickly as expected. With the Devils activating Eric Gelinas (illness) in advance of Wednesday's game, either Ruutu or Jagr will be moved to IR to clear a roster spot. After the Devils' road trip concludes, the NHL will break for the All-Star Game, meaning we likely won't see Ruutu back in action until Jan. 28 against the Maple Leafs.
