PITTSBURGH -- With the trade deadline in the rearview mirror, the Devils are ready to turn their attention to the final 20 games of the season and the final playoff push.

They will start that march with a 7 p.m. game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday at PPG Paints Arena, but they will do so without one of their deadline acquisitions.

New forward Patrick Maroon will not play on Tuesday after meeting the team in Pittsburgh earlier in the morning.

Without Maroon, here's how the Devils will line up for their final game of February, plus notes and quotes heading into game No. 63.

Why Maroon won't play

Maroon arrived in Pittsburgh on Tuesday morning and participated in the team's optional morning skate, but he won't play after taking a red-eye flight from San Jose on Monday night. After connecting in Atlanta, he flew to Pittsburgh, arriving around 9 a.m. to meet the team. The forward is expected to make his Devils debut on Thursday against the Florida Panthers.

When he does get in the lineup, Maroon expects to join a skilled and exciting team.

"There's a lot of familiar faces here. It's a really good team here," Maroon said Tuesday. "They're tenacious, they're an exciting group to watch and there seems to be a really good group of guys in here. When I heard New Jersey, I had a big smile on my face.

"It's a good locker room for me to join and be part of something special here."

Maroon on jumping into new team

When Maroon does make his debut, he will be playing for a new team after being traded at the deadline for the second time in three seasons. He was dealt from the Anaheim Ducks to the Oilers in 2016.

Maroon did well in the final stretch of 2016, where he had 14 points in 16 games with the Oilers. He knows what to expect while joining a new team after a midseason trade, and he said some familiarity with New Jersey will help.

"I think this is a little different for me, second time around. I feel more comfortable with this," Maroon said. "There's familiar faces over their in New Jersey that I played with for a long time. There's guys that I still talk to to this day. This transition really makes it a lot easier. I knew the coaching staff. I knew Ray (Shero) from the world championships. It just makes it a lot easier to go over there and the transition is a little bit easier."

Why Hynes isn't worried about Bratt

Devils rookie Jesper Bratt enters Tuesday without a point in his last six games, and his only two points in February came on two assists in one game on Feb. 13 against the Flyers. Bratt also doesn't have a goal since Jan. 20.

Despite those struggles, Bratt is still third on the team in points. Coach John Hynes said this is the first adversity has really faced, but he isn't worried about the 19-year-old.

Hynes sees the same competitiveness and drive in games and practices, and with the league getting tighter as the year progresses, he expects Bratt to make the adjustment to get back to his game.

"He’s a young guy. This is the first situation he’s gone through," Hynes said. "I don’t think it’s a fatigue or a schedule thing. He’s a young guy, but he’s played some very good hockey for us."

With the addition of Grabner and Maroon, Bratt will likely find himself on the right side going forward.
