Tallinder (leg) is likely to be available before the Eastern Conference Finals series' against the Rangers wraps up, Devils coach Pete DeBoer tells the Bergen County Record.
Recommendation: Tallinder has remained out since Jan. 17 with a blood clot in his lower leg. Tallinder resumed skating last week and was cleared to take part in full practices on Wednesday.
