“At some point we’re going to have to figure this out.” The Devils could only muster a single goal in Thursday’s game against the Golden Knights, and Vegas came away with a 3-1 win. Things aren’t going great right now! [Devils NHL]
Roster moves:
#NEWS: We have placed C Nico Hischier on injured reserve, retroactive to Jan. 25.
We have recalled D Simon Nemec from Utica (AHL). He will join the team for today’s morning skate.— New Jersey Devils (@NJDevils) February 6, 2025
Injury updates:
Nico Hischier has started skating again, says #NJDevils HC Sheldon Keefe.
Keefe added, the way Nico’s recovery is going it would be “a surprise if he wasn’t available when we return from the break.”

Jonas Siegenthaler still being evaluated, says Keefe.
He will see a specialist before they know exactly where he is at in terms of a timeline.
So he’s out at least these next two games before the break. #NJDevils

“Getting Hischier and Haula back will help, but we have an entire season’s worth of data to point to in the bottom six to know it’s a problem. Getting a depth move done sooner rather than later would go a long way until Fitzgerald secures a bigger-name scorer before March 7.” [Devils on the Rush]
