Devils' Dougie Hamilton Out at Least a Week With Lower-Body Injury

Coach Sheldon Keefe called it a minor issue with Hamilton's return tied to his comfort level.

Overview

  • Keefe ruled Hamilton out for a minimum of one week and confirmed he would miss Saturday's game against the Penguins.
  • Hamilton exited Thursday’s 4-3 win over the Canadiens in the second period after 10:09 of ice time and did not practice Friday.
  • The team lists the issue as a lower-body injury following his departure from the Montreal game.
  • New Jersey adjusted its special teams with defenseman Simon Nemec moving onto the second power-play unit.
  • Colton White drew into the lineup on Saturday as the Devils’ defense also copes with Brett Pesce being out at least a month.
