Adam Henrique and Adam Larsson are set to make their season debuts for the New Jersey Devils Thursday against the New York Islanders at the Prudential Center.
Adam Henrique had thumb surgery on Nov. 29 to re-attached a ligament and has played 16 games with the Albany Devils of the American Hockey League where he tallied eight points. Henrique is expected to centre the Devils’ fourth line with Krys Barch and Matt Anderson while also seeing time on the power play.
