Kovalchuck Undergoing Physical Therapy

via Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice, Devils forward Ilya Kovalchuk was not available to meet with the media following the team’s video meeting this afternoon.

A team spokesperson said Kovalchuk had gone to “therapy” and will be meeting up with the Devils later today in Philadelphia. He will apparently not be joining the team on its bus ride to Philadelphia this afternoon for Tuesday night’s Game 2 against the Flyers.

Although Kovalchuk appears to be struggling with some kind of injury—believed to be his lower back—he has repeatedly said when asked that he is healthy.
