Devils GM Lou Lamorioello said Thursday that Salvador's lower-body injury, which has kept him out since Nov. 10, is related to his back, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports. Progress has been slow thus far for the Devils captain, but he still fully expects to play at some point this season, which could be his final stanza in the NHL. The 37-year-old remains under doctor's care and could be cleared to resume skating once he regains some strength with his back. With two points and a minus-5 rating over 15 games before succumbing to the injury, Salvador isn't somebody that fantasy owners are anxiously waiting for to come back.
