Coach John Hynes indicated Monday that Schlemko (lower body) is available to play Tuesday, but could serve as a healthy scratch, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Schlemko hasn't played in the past three games due to injury, but that is no longer an issue. He will be available for Tuesday's contest, but Hynes indicated he liked the way the Devils played Saturday and could use the same lineup. Regardless, Schlemko's absence is no longer injury-related.
