Havlat (facial lacerations) skated with the Devils' expected scratches Saturday morning, suggesting he won't play in the game later that night against the Sharks, Tom Gulitti of the Bergen Record reports.

Analysis:

Havlat was wearing a full face shield to protect himself from further aggravation to the cuts on his upper lip and nose. The lacerations should heal up over the next few days, but it appears Damien Brunner will take his spot in the lineup for at least one game.
