The Devils may also get a big boost from Ilya Kovalchuk, who's likely to return for Game 3 after sitting out Game 2 with what is now being reported as a herniated disk. The Russian is one of the top offensive weapons for the Devils, who have had success against Philadelphia goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov through the first two games and can take the series lead on Thursday night. Game 3 will be the first game of an NHL playoffs doubleheader, with the puck scheduled to drop at 7:30 p.m. ET. Complete broadcast information below:
