Gelinas (ribs) won't play Thursday against the Lightning, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis:

With both Gelinas and Jon Merrill set to miss Thursday's game, the Devils have recalled blueliners Raman Hrabarenka and Seth Helgeson to fill their respective spots in the lineup. Gelinas was at least able to take part in Thursday's morning skate, which suggests he could end up being available for Saturday's season finale against the Panthers.
