Devils goalie Martin Brodeur was examined on Monday by the team's doctor and is “day to day” with a sore back.

“We’ll just leave it to the doctors and we’ll see how he is," general manager Lou Lamoriello said.

Although Brodeur was unable to start Sunday night's game against the Winnipeg Jets, Lamoriello doesn't have any long-term concerns about the 40-year-old goalie's health.

"No, I don't," Lamoriello said.

The Devils will probably bring in a goalie for practice on Tuesday.

“We’re going to think about that tonight. It has to do with rosters spots,” Lamoriello explained. “We might bring somebody in for practice tomorrow. We haven’t decided yet.”

He disputed those who suggest Johan Hedberg has been struggling in recent starts.

“I’m absolutely pleased with the way he’s been playing,” the GM said. “It’s not even a question.”

• Mattias Tedenby, released from a Glens Falls, N.Y., hospital Saturday after suffering a skate cut to the right side of his face Feb. 15, remained at home in Albany.

“We left him there another day, just to get him home to relax for a day. He’s doing good,” Lamoriello said.

Tedenby was hospitalized for a week for surgery and a subsequent infection. He will, at some point, be brought to New Jersey.
