Glass was a late scratch for Friday's game with his absence being unknown prior to warmups. Yakov Trenin will draw into the lineup in his place. Glass has one goal and one assist in 17 games this season.

Hughes and the Devils avoided a much worse prognosis on Tuesday morning, but the star forward will still be out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis as he recovers from an upper-body injury. Hughes has already missed six games this season with a separate injury and provides another blow to an injury-depleted Devils club that is already without Timo Meier, Jonas Siegenthaler, Dougie Hamilton, and Ondrej Palat. Dawson Mercer has moved into the top six and onto the top powerplay unit and should be the main benefactor of offensive deployment during Hughes' absence.

Siegenthaler has been placed on IR, prompting the Devils to recall Cal Foote from the Utica Comets of the AHL. Siegenthaler played only 9:34 time-on-ice before exiting the last game and joins a concerningly large list of noteworthy Devils players that are injured, including Jack Hughes, Timo Meier, Ondrej Palat, and fellow defenseman Dougie Hamilton.

Glass has been in and out of the lineup over the last month for the Predators but will draw back in on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks. He has been limited to only one point (1G / 0A) in his last seven games.












Hughes left for the locker room with only a couple of minutes remaining in the game, and it's unclear at this time whether or not the injury would have prevented him from returning to the game. His status for Saturday's game his brother Quinn and the Canucks is currently unknown.

Noesen will join Martin Necas (upper-body) on the sidelines for this one as the Hurricanes will be forced to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Noesen has ten goals and 13 assists in 38 games this season.

Rodrigues left after blocking a shot with his lower leg and did not return. In addition to Rodrigues, the Panthers also lost Aleksander Barkov in the first period, so they could be short-handed for Saturday's game in Colorado. Head coach Paul Maurice said he expects to have an update on Rodrigues on Friday.
