Devils Open Camp With Noesen Sidelined by Groin Setback and Kovacevic Out Indefinitely

The team clarified Jacob Markstrom missed practice for personal reasons, not because of an injury.

Overview

  • Noesen re-injured a pre-existing groin issue over the summer, underwent a procedure, and is expected to miss time with no firm timetable.
  • Kovacevic remains out indefinitely as he continues recovery from knee surgery performed in May.
  • The club said Markstrom’s absence from Thursday’s on-ice session was for family reasons and not health-related.
  • Prospects Shane LaChance and Lenni Hämeenaho were hurt at the Prospects Challenge and are skating as the team monitors their status.
  • Noesen is coming off a 22-goal, 41-point season, and New Jersey noted five players were unavailable during the second day of camp.
