Goalie Vitek Vanecek did not take part in Monday’s Devils morning skate because of a lower-body injury and illness, coach Lindy Ruff revealed following practice.
“Vitek had a slight lower body ailment from the previous game and was sick yesterday and today,” Ruff stated. “It goes without saying that we have to bring someone up later today.”
