The New Jersey Devils are facing the prospect of fighting for a playoff spot without one of their best players.

Mike Cammalleri, who's been out of the lineup since Jan. 26 with a hand injury, suffered a setback in his recovery and could miss the rest of the season, head coach John Hynes revealed Friday.

The 33-year-old recorded 14 goals and 24 assists through 42 games, and led the Devils in scoring at the time of the injury.
