Gagner (upper body) will miss Friday's game against the Devils, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Gagner did take part in morning skate Friday, but doesn't appear to be healthy enough to rejoin the lineup. His next chance to return will come Saturday against the Blue Jackets, but the team should provide an update on his status before then.
