opening lineup

Bahl and Boqvist got sent down. Thompson hasn't been practicing so I think he's been sent down too? I must have missed it if he did. Either way, he isn't getting scratched, he's on the roster or goes to the AHL.

The team is preparing for Ty and Severson to be out of the lineup on opening night, but there's no word yet. So they'll be replaced with White or Geersten and Jaros if that's the case.

Wood hasn't been practicing due to an injury that we don't have much info on. So there's a good chance he isn't playing on opening night.

Wedgewood isn't getting waived with Blackwood still recovery from surgery and his vaccination status. They'll be carrying 3 goaltenders until everything is sorted.

Mercer has been practicing with the team as the 3C.

Holtz has been practicing with the team on the 5th line, so he'll likely be getting sent down.

We’re rolling with five lines and four defensive pairings today at #NJDevils practice. Here’s how it’s all shaping up: pic.twitter.com/hG0WJpasRG

Those are todays practice lines. So it's safe to say that the opening lineup will be very different from what you have here.
