Head coach Lindy Ruff said Nosek is day-to-day.
The Devils are 1-0-1 this season, while the Panthers are 0-2 after reaching the Stanley Cup Final last spring.
Columbus Blue Jackets
The Blue Jackets added goaltender Jet Greaves to their roster under an emergency recall Monday.
Columbus netminder Elvis Merzlikins is dealing with a stomach bug.
Montreal Canadiens
Forward Kirby Dach is expected be out long-term with a "significant injury." The team did not provide a specific timeline Monday.
Dach left Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks with a lower-body injury and did not return. In the first period, he took a hit from Blackhawks defenceman Jarred Tinordi that sent him into the Blackhawks' bench. He was in discomfort and went to the dressing room. He did not return to the bench for the start of the second period and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
In the season opener Wednesday night against Toronto, Dach had two assists with 21:22 TOI in a 6-5 shootout loss.
