On Sunday morning, ahead of the Devils home game against the Islanders, the Devils recalled forward Nick Merkley from the Taxi Squad.
Lindy Ruff confirmed on Saturday that Merkley would make his season debut tonight, playing alongside Nikita Gusev and Pavel Zacha.
Merkley has spent the beginning of the season on the Taxi Squad.
In a complimentary move, the team has loaned Jesper Boqvist to the Taxi Squad. Boqvist does not require waivers.
Boqvist has played in all four games this season and has yet to register a point.
