Not an ideal situation with Mackenzie Blackwood:
#NJDevil Lindy Ruff says Mackenzie Blackwood, although backing up, is in a day-to-day scenario.

Blackwood, clearly dealing with something, has taken several maintenance days and had work with trainers leading up to now.
Ruff regarding Blackwood (who is day to day): "You know that we've had a lot of maintenance with him where he hasn't skated or his practice time has been cut ... it's something we've been dealing with for a long period." https://t.co/SWCOn6NzVI

He had a follow up with doctors this week, and is just 16 days removed from surgery. He continues to progress well from surgery as his jaw heals.
He’s started skating & some on-ice skills work.
He’ll continue to be evaluated week-to-week.
