Adam Beckman - Hits waiversBeckman (lower body) was activated from the non-roster list and placed on waivers Sunday.

ImpactBeckman has recovered from a training camp injury and could head to AHL Utica if another team doesn't claim him off waivers. The 23-year-old forward had 19 goals and 33 points across 51 AHL regular-season outings with Iowa in 2023-24.

Stefan Noesen - Two helpers in overtime lossNoesen notched two assists, three hits and five PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.

ImpactNoesen set up the Devils' first two goals of the game. The 31-year-old has seen third-line usage lately, and he's been promoted to the top power-play unit, where he works as a net-front option. Through eight contests, Noesen has two goals, six assists, 11 shots on net and 19 hits while averaging 13:33 of ice time. The winger's scoring pace will likely fade, but he's steady with his physical play, so he may be able to maintain a spot as a bench option in fantasy.

Dougie Hamilton - Ties game on power playHamilton scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.

ImpactAfter opening the season with no points over six games, Hamilton has gotten on the scoresheet in back-to-back outings. The defenseman's process has been solid throughout -- he's posted multiple shots on net in seven of eight contests this season for a total of 28. He's also logged 11 hits and 16 blocked shots, which is an uptick from his usual level of physicality. Now that he's shaken off the rust, fantasy managers can deploy Hamilton with confidence as a borderline No. 1 fantasy defenseman.

Erik Haula - Goals in consecutive gamesHaula scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.

ImpactHaula is warming up on offense with goals in consecutive games. The 33-year-old center is up to six points, 11 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating through eight contests. He's the Devils' third-line center, but his all-situations usage often leads to him being a top-six forward in terms of actual ice time. His scoring pace is a bit high compared to his usual level, so don't expect Haula to keep this going throughout the campaign.

Dawson Mercer - Nets goal in overtime lossMercer scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Capitals.

ImpactMercer has had an uneven start to the campaign despite consistently playing in a top-six role. His goal Saturday was his second tally and third point of the season, and he's added a modest 10 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across eight appearances. Mercer was limited to 33 points during the 2023-24 regular season, down from his 56-point breakout in 2022-23, and his offense isn't trending in the right direction this season.

Trevor van Riemsdyk - Provides pair of assistsVan Riemsdyk notched two assists, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.

ImpactVan Riemsdyk helped out on goals by Andrew Mangiapane and Dylan Strome in the second period. These were van Riemsdyk's first points of the season to go with 10 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. He's held down a spot on the third pairing early in the year while Matt Roy (lower body) hasn't played since the Capitals' season opener. Once Roy returns, van Riemsdyk will compete with Dylan McIlrath for playing time.

Andrew Mangiapane - Buries goal SaturdayMangiapane scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.

ImpactMangiapane has two points, seven shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating over four contests. After a one-game look on the top line, he's been a regular on the third line, which is likely a better spot for him in the long run. The 28-year-old winger can provide some depth offense, shots on goal and hits, but he's a fringe option in standard fantasy formats.
