The Devils recalled Lappin from AHL Binghamton on Wednesday.
The Devils placed Marcus Johansson (ankle) on injured reserve in a corresponding move Wednesday, so Lappin will round out the team's depth up front until Johansson or Taylor Hall (knee) is cleared to play. The 25-year-old winger has notched 12 goals and 18 points in 23 games with New Jersey's minor-league affiliate this campaign. He'll likely skate in a bottom-six role Thursday against the Canadiens.
