Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Out fourth game in a row with illness

Kalinin (illness) is out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Bruins, Matt Kalman of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Kalinin continues to battle an immunological ailment and will be held out of his fourth straight game as a result. The 25-year-old Russian is coming off his first season in the NHL after spending six campaigns in the KHL. Kalinin has never been one to rack up large point totals, but once healthy, he could earn his way into a bigger role this season after averaging just 13:20 of ice time in 2015-16.
