New Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier has suffered a “medium-body” injury and will miss Wednesday’s game against the Washington Capitals, coach Lindy Ruff said Tuesday.
Meier will not travel with the team after missing the third period of Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Boston Bruins.
“He’s just being evaluated,” Ruff said. “He won’t make the trip. … Hopefully, it shouldn’t be too long.”
Meier, 27, missed seven games in November with a lower-body injury. The prized acquisition of the Devils’ 2022-23 trade deadline has nine goals and 15 points through 28 games this season.
