Street has been a career AHLer who has had a few cups of coffee in the NHL. The 33-year-old played three games with the Devils last season but spent most of the year with Binghamton (AHL), where he was second on the team with 42 points (15G / 27A) in 49 games.
Street missed the last eight games with an upper-body injury but is set to make his return in the AHL. The 32-year-old has 13 goals and 20 assists (33 points) in 33 AHL games this season.
The Devils used the open roster spot to call up Evan Cormier from Binghamton (AHL) to serve as their No.2 netminder while Mackenzie Blackwood is out with an upper-body injury.
Street has been a terrific point producer at the AHL-level throughout his career but has just eight points (3G / 5A) in 56 career NHL games with the Flames, Avalanche, Red Wings and Ducks. In his first year with the Devils, Street leads Binghamton with 33 points (13G / 20A) in 33 games. He will centre the third line with Jesper Bratt out with an undisclosed injury on Saturday.
Street has just three goals and two assists in 21 games while serving as a fourth liner with the Ducks this season. He heads back to the AHL, where he had 65 points (21G / 44A) in 73 games with Grand Rapids last season.
Street has been in the lineup for the last two games but will be replaced by Brian Gibbons on Monday.
Street, 30, appeared in six games with the Red Wings in 2016-17, spending most of the season in Grand Rapids (AHL), where he amassed 25 goals and 30 assists (55 points) in 62 games and added an impressive 21 points (8G / 13A) in 19 playoff games en route to the Griffins winning the Calder Cup.
The Red Wings will be playing their third game in three nights tonight, so Street has likely been recalled for precautionary or rest reasons. Street has registered 54 points (25G / 29A) in 60 games with the Griffins this season.
Street could make his Red Wings debut on Tuesday after being called up from Grand Rapids, where he has 23 goals and 28 assists (51 points) in 57 games. Frans Nielsen was banged up in last night’s game vs. the Sabres, so Street will likely play if Nielsen isn’t able to go tonight.
Street had a great start to the season with San Antonio, registering 12 points (3G / 9A) in six games. His recall suggests that an Avalanche forward is dealing with an injury and Street could make his season debut on Tuesday. Street has two assists in 22 NHL games.
Street has failed to register a point in three games with Colorado this season. While in Lake Erie he has one goal and one assist in four games.
There is no word on the nature of Street’s injury, but he was not in the lineup on Wednesday or Saturday, which suggests he suffered the injury on Tuesday vs. the Coyotes. The Avs’ lost Marc-Andre Cliche and John Mitchell on Saturday so Street would have had a chance to play some significant minutes this week had he been healthy.
With injuries to Dennis Everberg, Alex Tanguay and Jamie McGinn, the Avalanche recalled three forwards on Friday. Street, 27, has one goal and one assist in four games with Lake Erie. The former Calgary Flames’ centre has two assists in 19 career NHL games.
Street leads the Abbotsford Heat in scoring with 17 goals and 16 assists for 33 points in 31 games including the overtime game winning goal tonight in a 3-2 win over San Antonio. He was recently named to the 2014 AHL All-Star Team. Street played eight games with the Flames earlier this season picking up one assist.
Street played 10 minutes of ice time with two shots on goal in Saturday night’s 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
