3 years agoNew Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Islanders. The 28-year-old has missed three games. Hamilton was on a hot streak before getting hurt with five points in five games, and he's collected six points in total in eight appearances this season with 31 shots, 13 hits, 14 blocks and a plus-four rating. He averages the second-most minutes on the team and is vitally important for the Devils, who use Hamilton on the first defensive pairing with Ryan Graves and on the top power-play unit.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
