The big story out of the game was an injury Will Butcher sustained in the third period, which came on a nasty hit from Roman Polak that sure looked like boarding to this writer. Looks like we’ll have to hold our breaths until Thursday.
#NJDevils - No update on Will Butcher’s status. Coach Hynes hasn’t met with Devils medical staff yet.

Coach Hynes did not have an update on Butcher post-game. #NJDevils have the complete day off tomorrow, so I don’t expect any news on Butcher at least until 10:30am on Thursday - at the earliest. https://t.co/w4Ay7c9rq6
