Daniil Misyul - Back in AHL Misyul was reassigned to AHL Utica on Sunday.

Santeri Hatakka - Assigned to AHL Hatakka was dropped to AHL Utica on Sunday.

Impact Hatakka has one assist, one shot on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in three NHL outings this campaign. He also has nine points and 22 PIM over 28 AHL contests in 2023-24. The Devils might give the 23-year-old defender another look in the NHL after the All-Star break.

Ondrej Palat - Goal and assist in loss Palat had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning on Saturday. He had four shots.

Impact He got the Devils first goal on a rebound following a Nico Hischier shot. He put it past Andrei Vasilevskiy's glove from the low slot. It's Palat's second game back after missing 10 games to a lower-body injury. He has five goals, nine assists and 63 shots in 36 games this season, his second with the Devils.

Vitek Vanecek - Solid not good enough Vanecek made 36 saves in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning on Saturday. He allowed four goals.

Impact He was solid, which is a lot more to say than his season so far. His .886 save percentage and 3.24 GAA are a big part of why the Devils are staring up -- waaaaaay up -- at a Wild Card spot. But still, Vanecek is 3-2-1 in his last six starts, and he has allowed four or more goals four times in that span. Little wonder the Devils have been in the market for another goalie.

Vitek Vanecek - Expected to start Saturday Vanecek will guard the road net against Tampa Bay on Saturday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Vanecek has a 16-7-2 record, 3.21 GAA and .885 save percentage in 28 outings in 2023-24. He stopped the 11 shots he faced in a relief appearance during Thursday's 3-2 loss to Carolina. Tampa Bay, which is in a three-way tie for seventh offensively this year with 3.43 goals per game, will be a difficult adversary for Vanecek.

Erik Haula - Unavailable Saturday Haula (personal) won't play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Haula and his wife are expecting the birth of their second child. The 32-year-old Haula has 10 goals, 23 points and 82 shots on net over 41 games this season. Max Willman may draw into the lineup Saturday due to Haula's absence.

Jesper Bratt - Provides goal Thursday Bratt netted a goal in a 3-2 loss to Carolina on Thursday.

Impact Bratt extended his scoring streak to three games, giving him two goals and an assist in that span. He's up to 18 goals and 49 points through 46 contests in 2023-24. Bratt finished each of the past two campaigns with 73 points and is well on his way to topping that mark this season.

Vitek Vanecek - Makes 11 saves in relief Vanecek stopped 11 Hurricanes shots in a relief appearance during a 3-2 loss to Carolina on Thursday.

Impact Vanecek entered the game early in the second period after Nico Daws surrendered three goals on 12 shots. With the Devils down 3-0 when Vanecek entered the contest, he ultimately wasn't charged with the loss. The 28-year-old netminder has a 16-7-2 record, 3.21 GAA and .885 save percentage in 28 outings this season. Daws has been struggling lately, which increases the chases that Vanecek will get the nod in Saturday's road game versus Tampa Bay.

Nico Daws - Pulled in loss to Carolina Daws stopped nine of 12 shots before being pulled in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Carolina on Thursday.

Impact Daws was replaced by Vitek Vanecek early in the second period. It's been a rough stretch for Daws, who has now lost his last four appearances while allowing 14 goals on 108 shots (.870 save percentage). That drags his 2023-24 totals down to 3-5-0 with a 3.43 GAA and an .895 save percentage across eight contests. Vanecek's struggles have created an opening for the Devils' starting gig, but Daws hasn't proven that he's a good option either.

Erik Haula - Missed practice Friday According to Amanda Stein, Haula (personal reasons) was not on the ice for Friday's practice.

Impact Haula has been solid for the Devils thus far recording 10 goals and 13 assists in 41 games. The status of the 32-year-old is unknown, but he has been a pivotal piece of the team since star Jack Hughes has been sidelined due to an upper-body injury.
