After five players exited the NHL’s COVID-19 protocols on Saturday, the Devils are one step closer to resuming their season.
The team will practice on Monday, marking the first team activity in two weeks after COVID-19 issues put a pause on the Devils’ schedule.
The Devils still have 13 players in the league’s protocols, but more players are expected to be activated before Monday’s practice. Players who still appear on the list on Sunday could participate on Monday if they are cleared prior to practice.

Final NHL rosters need to be set by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, and the Devils used Monday to begin preparing for their final cuts.
The Devils assigned six players Brett Seney, Nate Schnarr, Kevin Bahl, Reilly Walsh, Nikita Okhotyuk and Evan Cormier to the AHL.
Five players were placed on waivers. Any players who clear without being claimed by other NHL teams by noon on Tuesday will be eligible to be placed on the NHL taxi squad or sent the AHL.
