Devils' Vatanen, Boyle back in lineup vs. Islanders

The New Jersey Devils will get a boost to their lineup on Friday afternoon.

Defenseman Sami Vatanen and forward Brian Boyle were activated off injured reserve and will be in the lineup against the New York Islanders.

Vatanen had missed the past three games with a lower-body injury and Boyle was sidelined the previous five contests with an upper-body injury.

In 17 games this season, Vatanen has one goal and seven points, while Boyle is tied for fourth on the club with six goals in 15 games.
