NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Devils center Cody Glass returned to the lineup in Thursday night's 4-3 OT win over the Montreal Canadiens, and forward Connor Brown remained out.
Glass was activated from injured reserve after he missed seven games following his injury Oct. 21 against Toronto. The 26-year-old Glass had two goals in six games to start the season.
"It's good to be back," Glass said. "It sucks to watch from a distance. To be back at home, it's awesome."
Glass scored an unassisted goal 1:53 into his return to give the Devils the early lead against the Canadiens.
Brown, 31, has missed three games with an undisclosed upper-body injury after totaling five goals and one assist in 11 games.
"Glasser came in feeling better than expected from yesterday and is good to go," Devils coach Sheldon Keefe said after the team's morning skate. "Brown, on the other hand, wasn't feeling as good and he's not where they want him to be, so that's going to take a little more time to resolve."
To make room for Glass on the roster, defenseman Brett Pesce was placed on IR.
