Devils' Kyle Palmieri: Ready to go

Palmieri (upper body) confirmed that he'll be in the lineup Friday night against the Red Wings, Deb Kaufman Placey of MSG Networks reports.

Analysis:

After missing the last two games, Palmieri was able to make it through morning skate, which was obviously a positive sign as he prepares for the upcoming home tilt. Look for the playmaker to reprise his role as a top-six winger, and he should be unleashed on the power play as well, assuming the special teams situation presents itself.
