I think it’s a pretty safe bet Peter Harrold is one of the extra defenseman. Regardless of DeBoer’s proclivity to use him for the stretch run, there are just too many compelling and expensive reasons for him not to play. Harrold will be on the sidelines looking in, for the most part. I will speculate that Harrold has as good, or possibly a better chance of filling in at times as a 4th line RW as he does a defender, due to the Devils lack of depth up front. His versatility in that respect is another reason he is a good guy to have around near the bottom of the roster.
