Devils' Mackenzie Blackwood: Back with teammates

Blackwood (heel) will participate in morning skate Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

It will be Blackwood's first time on the ice with his team since his last game Jan. 19 against Arizona. It's unclear if the Devils expect him to be ready for Tuesday's tilt with the Coyotes, but the 25-year-old is clearly nearing a return. He's missed the last 34 games.
