Kovalchuk will skate on New Jersey's second line with Adam Henrique and Patrik Elias for Monday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Newark Star-Ledger's Rich Chere reports.
Recommendation: Kovalchuk and the Devils have been shut out twice by the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals and this combination is a skilled trio that could generate some more offense for New Jersey. Kovalchuk had six shots on goal in Saturday's Game 3 loss.
