Mike Cammalleri (hand) could return to Devils this week

New Jersey Devils forward Mike Cammalleri (hand) practiced on Sunday and could return to the lineup as early as Tuesday.

What It Means:

There have been plenty of reports last week stating the opposite, so time will tell. "I don’t really have an answer to that," New Jersey coach John Hynes said when asked about Cammalleri's availability for Tuesday's game. "I know he skated [Sunday], but didn’t do much with his stick. So, again, it’s one of those things where I’ll probably be able to give you a much better update [this] afternoon." Cammalleri has 38 points in 42 games so his presence has definitely been missed.

Assuming he returns soon, our projections see him scoring eight more goals with nine more assists the rest of the way. His 2.3 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is the third-best mark of his career, and his Corsi For Percentage of 49.2 is his second-best mark in the past nine seasons.
