The Devils have recalled Akira Schmid from Utica (AHL).

Schmid was a fifth-round pick (No.136 overall) in 2018 and has been terrific in his first professional season. The 21-year-old has gone 8-0-2 with a 1.60 GAA and .944 SV% in 10 starts with Utica. He will likely serve as Mackenzie Blackwood's backup on Friday.

The Maple Leafs have placed Mitch Marner (undisclosed) on IR.

Marner will miss his third straight game on Tuesday but should be eligible to be activated from IR for Thursday's game if he's healthy enough. Alex Steeves was recalled from the AHL to take Marner's spot on the roster and could make his NHL debut vs. the Blue Jackets.
