The New Jersey Devils placed veteran forward Ondrej Palat on injured reserve Saturday.

The move, which is retroactive to Oct. 24, comes after Palat missed the Devils' previous two games, including Friday's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.

In the team's news release Saturday, the Devils labeled Palat's injury "lower-body," and said he will meet with doctors Monday to make "a final determination" on the next course of action.
