Palmieri (lower body) is considered a game-time decision heading into Thursday's matchup with the Devils, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports. Additionally, the winger remains on injured reserve per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri has rejoined the team for practice but remains in doubt versus New Jersey. If the winger is unable to suit up, Kieffer Bellows and/or Ross Johnston could be in line for a third-line role in his stead. Prior to getting hurt, the New York native was mired in an 11-game pointless streak dating back to Nov. 20 versus the Flames.
