New Jersey Devils' forward Ondrej Palat will miss tonight's game against the Florida Panthers will a lower-body injury. No further timetable has been provided. 

This is the second time this season that Palat will miss at least one game due to a lower-body injury. 

Palat will be missing his 11th game this season. In the 51 games Palat has played in, he's registered nine goals and 24 points. The Devils signed Palat to a five-year, $30 million contract in the summer of 2022. He won two Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning before signing with the Devils. 

Tonight's game will be the first game Travis Green will be coaching for the Devils. Green has been forced to change up the lines a bit with Palat out of the lineup. Chris Tierney has been inserted into the lineup and will play alongside Curtis Lazar and Dawson Mercer.
