Devils' Nick DeSimone: Sent to AHL
DeSimone was assigned to AHL Utica on Wednesday.
DeSimone was called up by the Devils in mid-November, but he didn't see any playing time during his stint with the NHL club. He should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors.

Devils' Kurtis MacDermid: Playing time hard to come by
MacDermid has been scratched for eight of the Devils' last 10 games after sitting out Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
The Devils look to be finding ways to avoid playing MacDermid -- amid a run of injuries to forwards, call-ups took over the vacated fourth-line spots in the lineup. MacDermid has no points, 20 hits and 17 PIM over 12 appearances this season. Since Nathan Bastian has returned from a jaw injury, it's even less likely MacDermid will play much, as the Devils don't need two enforcers in the lineup.

Devils' Jonas Siegenthaler: Offense turns cold
Siegenthaler was held off the scoresheet for the 12th straight game in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Siegenthaler is a bottom-four fixture on the blue line for the Devils. The 27-year-old had three points over four games from Nov. 7-12, but he's since gone quiet. The defenseman is at seven points, 28 shots on net, 45 hits and 59 blocked shots over 31 appearances this season.

Devils' Ondrej Palat: Nets lone goal in loss
Palat scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Palat's goal was the only one of 39 shots from New Jersey that got past Anthony Stolarz. This was Palat's first tally since Nov. 12, and he had just three helpers over 11 games between goals. The veteran winger remains in a top-six role at even strength on paper, producing nine points, 37 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-3 rating over 30 appearances. In reality, his average ice time is 13:31, which is in line with middle-six usage at best.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Barely tested in OT loss
Markstrom made 14 saves in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Leafs on Tuesday.
The ice was steeply tilted against Anthony Stolarz at the other end of the rink, and Markstrom consequently didn't get much action. The Leafs' first goal came shorthanded where they seemed to get more opportunities than at even strength or on the power play. Markstrom is 13-6-2 with a 2.48 GAA, .906 save percentage and one shutout.

Devils' Nathan Legare: Dropped to minors
Legare was assigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
The Devils activated Nathan Bastian (jaw) from long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move. Legare has three shots on goal, one blocked shot and 12 hits in three appearances with New Jersey this season, but he is still searching for his first NHL point. He has three goals in 18 AHL outings this campaign.

Devils' Jake Allen: Dealing with upper-body injury
Allen will not be available versus Toronto on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
While Allen is not expected to be sidelined long-term, the Devils did need to call up Isaac Poulter from the minors to serve as the backup to Jacob Markstrom versus the Leafs. In 10 appearances this season, the 34-year-old Allen is 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA, which would be his best mark since 2020-21 if that numbers hold throughout the rest of the campaign. Despite his decent run of form, Allen remains firmly entrenched behind Markstrom for the starting job in New Jersey.

Devils' Nathan Bastian: Ready to rock
Bastian (jaw) will be activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup versus Toronto on Tuesday, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Bastian will occupy a bottom-six role after missing the last 16 games. He has registered two goals, three assists, 11 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 19 hits across 12 appearances this campaign. With Bastian back, Nathan Legare will come out of the lineup.

Devils' Isaac Poulter: Called up from AHL
Poulter was recalled from AHL Utica on Tuesday.
Poulter's promotion is a good indication that Jake Allen (undisclosed) won't be available to serve as the backup against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. With no back-to-backs before the Christmas break, Poulter is unlikely to see any NHL action, instead serving as the reserve option behind Jacob Markstrom.

Devils' Jake Allen: Questionable for Tuesday
Allen (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's home game against Toronto.
Allen surrendered three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Colorado. He has a 5-4-1 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Allen is being evaluated Monday to determine if he can dress as the backup behind Jacob Markstrom against the Maple Leafs. If the 34-year-old Allen is unavailable, New Jersey will probably summon a goaltender from the minors.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Set to start Tuesday
Markstrom will serve as the starting goaltender for Tuesday's home game against the Maple Leafs.
Markstrom has earned wins in his last three starts, posting a 2.33 GAA and .919 save percentage during that time. He'll attempt to keep his momentum going Tuesday against the Maple Leafs, who are averaging 2.96 goals per game this season.

Devils' Jake Allen: On wrong side of shutout
Allen allowed three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Allen received no help in this contest, taking his second consecutive defeat. The Devils did well to keep the Avalanche's best players mostly quiet, but the middle six made the difference. Allen is now 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 10 starts this season. Jacob Markstrom is likely to get the start Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Devils' Jake Allen: Starting vs. Avs
Allen will guard the home net Sunday against Colorado, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.
Allen will make just his second start in seven games, having allowed six goals on 32 shots in a loss to Washington in his last appearance. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder is 5-3-1 with a .903 save percentage and 2.70 GAA while backing up Jacob Markstrom this season.

Devils' Brenden Dillon: Nabs helper in win
Dillon produced an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Dillon helped out on a Jesper Bratt goal in the second period. The helper was Dillon's first point in five games. The 34-year-old defenseman has occupied a top-four role for much of the season, though his average ice time is 18:26 through 29 contests. He won't add a ton of offense -- he has seven points and 17 shots on net to go with 75 hits, 51 blocked shots, 37 PIM and a plus-7 rating as a physical presence on the blue line.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Tallies in Friday's win
Hughes scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
Hughes was credited with the Devils' first goal, which bounced in off a Kraken player. The goal was his first of the year, and he's been hot lately with six helpers over the previous six contests. The 21-year-old blueliner is up to nine points, 30 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 20 outings overall.
