New Jersey Devils News

Noesen has been an effective depth contributor at the NHL level in recent seasons, but had an off 2025-26 season with the Devils, scoring just seven points (3G / 4A) in 38 games. The 33-year-old forward was held off to the scoresheet in two games with the Devils this season, and now finds himself with Utica (AHL) after clearing waivers. He has not played an AHL game since the 2021-22 season.

Siegenthaler left Tuesday’s game vs. Utah with an undisclosed injury and did not return, but could return to the lineup as soon as Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 29-year-old Siegenthaler played all 82 games with the Devils last season, averaging 19:29 time-on-ice and scoring 16 points (0G / 16A).

After trading Jacob Markstrom in the offseason, the Devils are rolling with a makeshift goalie tandem of Jake Allen and Nico Daws. The 36-year-old Allen has started 35 or fewer games in six of his past seven seasons, so it's unclear if the team will rely on him more heavily in 2026-27, but he was stellar in his only outing so far, saving 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Devils enter Tuesday as -122 home favourites against a Utah Mammoth team that has outscored its opposition 12-5 through games this season (2-1-0).

Brown is recovering from a lower-body injury and has yet to play this season; although he is expected to miss at least a few more games, he appears to be inching closer to a return. The 32-year-old forward had a productive first season with the Devils in 2025-26, matching a career-high 43 points (18G / 25A) in 75 games.

Casey was expected to battle for a spot on the Devils' opening-night roster, but he underwent knee surgery that will delay his 2026-27 season by 8 to 10 weeks. The 22-year-old defenseman, the Devils' 46th-overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he tallied 19 points (1G / 18A) in 29 games with the Utica Comets.

With Jake Allen and Nico Daws as their goaltending tandem at the start of the 2026-27 season, it's unclear who the Devils will rely on more, but they will turn to Allen in their season opener against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 36-year-old Allen has started 35 or fewer games in six of his past seven seasons. He had a 2.74 GAA and .903 SV% in 37 appearances in 2025-26 (17-17-2). The Devils enter Thursday's contest as -168 home favourites against a Flyers team coming off a dreadful 7-0 season opener last night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

New Jersey will be without one of their key wingers for at least the first two games of the season after the team announced Wednesday that Connor Brown was dealing with a lower-body ailment. The 32-year-old is entering his second season in New Jersey after a successful first campaign in 2025-26 that saw him put up 18 goals, 43 points and 116 SOG across 75 games played.

Casey is expected to "miss some time," according to Head Coach Sheldon Keefe. It is a tough blow for the 22-year-old, who was hoping to make the Devils' lineup out of camp after appearing in two games last season and spending a stint on the injured reserve. In 29 games with Utica (AHL) last season, the defenseman put up an impressive 19 points despite also having a -13 -plus/minus. New Jersey is expected to provide an injury update in the coming days.
