That brings us to Simon Nemec. The Devils' other young stud defenseman was injured during a qualifying game while playing for Slovakia. We haven’t heard anything about his status since then. There were reports that he was in pain after the collision, but that is the gist of it.
Since we haven’t heard anything from the Devils, even an acknowledgment of the injury itself, it could be bad news. We don’t want to speculate, but the fact we haven’t heard anything for weeks shows that it’s at least something.
The Devils spent assets and cap space on depth on defense, and it looks like they will need to use it right away.
