Kovalchuk practicing, but one of extra forwards for Devils today; Brodeur leaves practice early

Fire & Ice | Bergen Record — Devils right wing Ilya Kovalchuk is practicing with the team, but appears to be one of the extra forwards on the fifth line with Andrei Loktionov, Krys Barch and Tom Kostopoulos.

He took part in Wednesday’s full practice in Winnipeg as well and skated on his own briefly Tuesday in New Jersey. When asked how he was feeling today, Carter replied, “Pretty g...

Anderson skating at RW on fourth line; Matteau on top line; Pandolfo hoping for chance with Bruins

Fire & Ice | Bergen Record — New arrival Matt Anderson is skating on the fourth line with Krys Barch and Jacob Josefson in the Devils’ morning skate today at TD Garden as the team prepares for tonight’s game against the Boston Bruins.
