Tyler Kennedy could return to the PIT lineup tonight.

Sergei Gonchar was back on the ice yesterday. He will still need at least 10 more weeks to recover – probably 15. Expect him back in early to mid-March.

Matt D'Agostini was pointless and a minus-3 last night, which may see him back to the minors. Meanwhile, Max Pacioretty played in his first NHL game and scored his first goal. His ice time was 8:39. You may see him stay up and D'Agostini go down.

In his eighth game since his return, Andy Greene finally notched a point for the Devils.
