Impact Willman made 18 regular-season appearances for New Jersey last year and tallied three goals and an assist while averaging 8:20 of ice time. The 29-year-old is with the Devils on a two-way deal and will likely split time between the AHL and NHL this season.

Impact Willman scored three minutes into the game, earning his first NHL point since Jan. 19.

For the season, he has three goals, one assist, 16 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-2 rating through 17 appearances.

Back with big club Per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site, Willman is practicing with the Devils on Tuesday, indicating he's been recalled by the team.

Impact The Devils are dealing with injuries to several key forwards at the moment, so Willman will likely stick with the big club for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, even if he doesn't get into the lineup versus the Lightning. He's picked up one goal through four top-level appearances this year.

Up from minors Willman was called up from AHL Utica on Saturday.

Impact Timo Meier (abdomen) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move, so Willman might see some action during this NHL stint. The 28-year-old has nine goals and 16 points in 20 appearances with Utica as well as a goal in four games with New Jersey this season. If Willman does draw into the lineup for New Jersey, it will likely be as a part of the bottom six.

Sent to AHL affiliate Willman was assigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.

Practicing Monday Willman was in attendance at practice with the Devils on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Willman appears to have been recalled from the minors ahead of Monday's practice after what appears to have been a paper demotion Sunday. In his two outings this season, the 28-year-old winger has managed one goal on three shots, one hit and one block. Even with the call-up, Willman shouldn't be expected to get into the lineup against Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Reassigned to minors Willman was sent down to AHL Utica on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Willman has one goal in two NHL games this season. The 28-year-old will head back to the minors where he's tallied seven points in seven contests.

Lights lamp in season debut Willman scored his first goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 win over Chicago.

Impact Called up from AHL Utica on Saturday, Willman wasted no time in making an impact, stealing the puck from Kevin Korchinski at the Devils' blue line in the first period for a breakaway and then going five-hole on Arvid Soderblom. With New Jersey down its two top centers in Jack Hughes (upper body) and Nico Hischier (upper body) there are opportunities in the short term for other players, and the 28-year-old Willman -- who had four goals and seven points in seven games this season for Utica -- could push his way into a top-six role if he keeps producing.

Up with New Jersey Willman was recalled from AHL Utica on Saturday.
