Justin Dowling - Summoned from minors Dowling was recalled from AHL Utica on Tuesday.
Impact Dowling could play Wednesday against Vancouver after Curtis Lazar (lower body) suffered an injury in Sunday's 6-2 win over Anaheim. The 34-year-old Dowling has two goals and two assists in six AHL outings this season.

Topias Vilen - Sent to AHL Vilen (upper body) was activated from the injured non-roster list and assigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
Impact Vilen is ready to return to action after sustaining an injury in New Jersey's penultimate preseason game. The 21-year-old rearguard registered two goals and 29 points in 54 regular-season outings for AHL Utica in 2023-24. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

OCTOBER 28 • NJ.COM
Johnathan Kovacevic - Gathers assist in win Kovacevic notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact The helper ended a four-game slump for Kovacevic. The 27-year-old blueliner has maintained fairly steady usage even with Brett Pesce and Luke Hughes healthy, though Kovacevic is unlikely to be a power-play option moving forward. For the season, he's produced a goal, five assists, 14 shots on net, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 12 appearances.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Brenden Dillon - Registers assist Dillon notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Dillon has a helper in each of the last two games, giving him four assists through 12 games this season. Since the Devils welcomed Brett Pesce and Luke Hughes back from their respective stints on injured reserve, Dillon's ice time has taken a nosedive, though he's still listed in a top-four role. The 33-year-old blueliner has logged just six shots on net while adding 29 hits, 27 blocks, 22 PIM and a plus-2 rating. His physical play is consistent, but offense will be hard to come by if he slips down the lineup.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Ondrej Palat - Picks up assist in win Palat notched an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Palat hasn't done much on offense this season, earning two assists over 11 appearances. The winger had a season-high 13:53 of ice time Sunday, so while he's been listed on the second line, he's functioning more as a bottom-six option. He's added 11 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-7 rating, and without more offense, he won't have much appeal in fantasy.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Timo Meier - Garners helper in win Meier logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Meier saw a four-game point streak end Friday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders. He bounced right back Sunday, helping out on Jack Hughes' second-period tally. Meier has been good early on with 11 points, 37 shots on net, 27 hits, eight PIM and a plus-6 rating over 12 contests. The winger has topped the 60-point mark three times in his career, and he's also logged 150-plus hits in three different seasons, so he has potential as a power forward if he can keep up his early pace. Considering he's shooting 10.8 percent, it's reasonable to think this is sustainable.

Roasted Duck | REWIND | New Jersey Devils The Devils get the offense clicking against Anaheim, defeating the Ducks in Newark 6-2.
OCTOBER 28 • NHL.COM
Jesper Bratt - Point streak up to five games Bratt logged a power-play assist and three hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Bratt saw just 13:24 of ice time in the win, though no injury was reported after the game. The 26-year-old may have simply received some rest with the Devils controlling the game after two periods. Bratt has a goal and five assists during his current five-game point streak, and he's at two goals, 10 helpers, 32 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-4 rating through 12 contests overall.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Siegenthaler - Dishes two more assists Siegenthaler notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Siegenthaler has three helpers over his last two games. The 27-year-old blueliner led the Devils with 22:27 of ice time Sunday, though that might have occurred because they were protecting a lead and had few power-play opportunities. Siegenthaler is more of a shutdown defenseman, and he's up to four helpers, 12 shots on net, 23 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 12 appearances.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Dawson Mercer - Produces two assists Mercer recorded two assists and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Mercer helped out on second-period tallies by Jack Hughes and Paul Cotter. It's been a shaky start to the campaign for Mercer, who has five points over 12 games after earning his first multi-point effort of the year Sunday. He's added 17 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating while seeing top-six minutes.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Dougie Hamilton - Pair of helpers in win Hamilton notched two assists, five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact One of his helpers came on the power play. Hamilton saw a four-game point streak end Friday, but he responded with his first multi-point effort of the campaign. The 31-year-old defenseman is pushing play in the offensive zone with at least three shots on net in 10 of his 12 games this season. He's collected a goal, five helpers, 44 shots, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating while seeing top-four minutes and power-play time.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Haula - Pots goal in win Haula scored a goal on six shots and added three hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Haula has scored all four of his goals this season over the last six games. The 33-year-old remains in a third-line role, so it's tough to expect him to stay consistent on offense, but he adds enough physical play to partially offset his slumps. For the season, he has eight points, 23 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-1 rating through 12 appearances.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Paul Cotter - Tallies in Sunday's win Cotter scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Cotter has a goal and an assist over his last two games after going three contests without a point. The 24-year-old forward saw 15:54 of ice time Sunday, his second-highest total of the season, though he remains in a third-line role. He's contributed six goals, two assists, 22 shots on net, 33 hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating through 12 appearances, offering physical play and steady depth offense.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Hughes - Sparks second-period rally Hughes scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Hughes has found some success recently with two goals and three assists over his last four games. The center sparked the Devils' rally in the second period, tying the game at 1-1 at the 1:16 mark of the frame. For the season, he's up to three tallies, 10 points, 40 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 12 appearances. Both Hughes and Nico Hischier have enjoyed strong starts, giving the Devils a dual threat down the middle in the top six.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Nico Hischier - Leading league in goals Hischier scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Hischier tallied early in the third period, stretching the Devils' lead to 5-1. The 25-year-old center now leads the NHL with nine goals this season, one ahead of Nikita Kucherov and Cole Caufield. Hischier has scored four times over his last three games, and he's up to 12 points, 42 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 12 contests.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Stefan Noesen - Scores twice in Sunday's win Noesen scored two goals on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Noesen scored the go-ahead goal at 4:42 of the second period and added a power-play tally later in the frame that stood as the game-winner. The power winger has five points over his last five games while skating in a third-line role. He's up to five goals, 11 points (three on the power play), 20 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-2 rating through 12 appearances this season.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Markstrom - Gets back in win column Markstrom stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
Impact Markstrom had allowed 10 goals over his last two outings, but he got back on track Sunday. The Devils surged ahead with a four-goal second period to give their netminder plenty of support. Through eight starts, Markstrom is 4-3-1 with a 3.01 GAA and an .895 save percentage, though his lukewarm numbers haven't cost him the No. 1 job in goal yet. The Devils are set for a trip out west over the next week, with stops in Vancouver on Wednesday, Calgary on Friday and Edmonton on Monday.
