Nick Palmieri Out Against Flyers; Moose Hedberg to Start in Net

The right winger will sit out tomorrow's game with an upper-body injury suffered when he was checked last game against Pittsburgh. It's just a precautionary measure and he may play on Sunday. Palmieri sat out of practice today and Mattias Tedenby took his place with Travis Zajac and Ilya Kovalchuk (David Clarkson moved up and Adam Mair was on the 4th line).

Because the Devils are playing two game in as many days this weekend, Moose will get the nod tomorrow. Marty will most likely start against the Panthers on Sunday.

I would rather have Marty play Philly and Moose play Florida.

Honestly I think saving Marty for Florida is a better idea. Beating Philly is going to be really tough, and it would be that much worse if Marty couldn’t beat Philly and then Moose couldn’t beat Florida. Having Marty face Florida raises the odds of winning at least one of the two games.

I hope this is not a serious injury. I have been impressed with Palmieri. He has good size, hustle, seems to be in good position on the ice and works well with Kovy. Hurry back Nick.
