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.

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.
