Devils' Evgenii Dadonov: Shifts to IR
Dadonov (hand) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
Dadonov sustained the injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina. He won't be eligible to return until at least Saturday against Edmonton after going on the IR list, but an exact timeline for his return remains unclear. Dadonov logged only 9:32 of ice time in New Jersey's season opener versus the Hurricanes, failing to earn a point while posting two shots on net and two blocked shots.

Devils' Simon Nemec: Collects assist Saturday
Nemec posted an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.
Injuries have once again opened the door for Nemec to get a run in the lineup, as the Devils are without Seamus Casey (lower body) and Johnny Kovacevic (knee) to begin 2025-26. So far, Nemec has been limited to the third pairing with trace amounts of power-play time, and he's picked up a helper, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating over two games. The No. 2 pick from 2022 could have some upside in a larger role, but the Devils have a talented and experienced blue line that will make such a gig tough to earn.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Little action in win
Markstrom made 14 saves in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
The Bolts came out strong but quickly shrank after the Devils scored at the 8:30 mark of the first period. Even still, Markstrom had to be strong between the pipes. The netminder is now 1-1-0 with a 4.04 GAA and an .837 save percentage this season. We're not concerned; those numbers should improve over the next couple of weeks.

Devils' Jesper Bratt: Hits 450-point plateau
Bratt scored a shorthanded goal Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Lightning.
The goal stood as the winner. He got the puck and took off on a breakaway, beating Andrei Vasilevskiy at 4:48 of the third period. Bratt reached 450 NHL points (152 goals, 298 assists; 554 games) with the goal. He has topped 80 points in the last two regular seasons, and barring injury, should replicate that production with ease.

Devils' Arseni Gritsyuk: First NHL points
Gritsyuk had two assists Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Lightning.
His two-assist effort marked his first NHL points. "He plays with a lot of speed, and I think I play with a lot of speed," said Connor Brown, who skated with Gritsyuk in the bottom six. Gritsyuk showcased his offensive instincts in the KHL last season, and he's off to a solid start in the NHL. Still, his fantasy value may hinge on his ability to climb the lines into the top six.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Four assists in two games
Hughes had two assists Saturday in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay.
The third NHL Hughes could be the best of the lot, at least according to his older brothers Quinn Hughes and Jack Hughes. The youngest Hughes plays with the poise of a 30-year-old, and he already has four assists in two games. Hughes commands the ice and will shatter his current 47-point career mark this season. Put it on the board.

Devils' Timo Meier: Two points in win
Meier had a goal and assist in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Meier put the Devils up 1-0 in the first period when he jammed his own rebound past Andrei Vasilevskiy from close range after driving the net. Meier has compiled 121 points in 172 regular-season games since joining the Devils, including a 53-point performance in 2024-25. He is capable of more, but that's not likely in New Jersey. That 76-point season (2021-22) is probably an outlier, but playing beside Nico Hischier could deliver a 60-point season and a return to the 30-goal plateau.

Devils' Nico Hischier: First goal of season
Hischier had a goal and assist in a 5-3 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
Hischier put the Devils up 3-0 in the first period with his first goal of the season, a wraparound that deflected off the skate of a Tampa defender and past Andrei Vasilevskiy. Hischier set a career high in goals (35) last season, although it came on an inflated 18.7 shooting percentage. His career mark is 13.3. Still, Hischier is one of the league's best two-way pivots, and a 70-point campaign with lots of power-play production is within reach.

Devils' Connor Brown: Two goals help lead way
Brown scored twice in a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Brown has always shown flashes of offense, but he's lacked consistency. His best season came in Ottawa in 2019-20 when he put up 16 goals and 27 assists in 71 games. Brown is playing a bottom-six role in New Jersey, so his fantasy value is limited. However, he could offer deep help and step up the lineup in the event of an injury.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Set to start Saturday
Markstrom will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Lightning, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Markstrom will get the nod in the Devils' second game, and he'll be looking to bounce back from a tough opener. He allowed five goals on 32 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday. The 35-year-old still has quite a bit of a leash as the Devils' top goalie, but if his struggles persist in the long run, Jake Allen could get more time.

Devils' Evgenii Dadonov: Out for remainder of trip
Dadonov (hand) will miss at least the next two games and will be evaluated further before Thursday's home opener against Florida, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Saturday.
Dadonov sustained a fracture in his hand during Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina. He will miss at least Saturday's matchup versus Tampa Bay and Monday's contest at Columbus. A better timeline for his return should emerge afterward. Ondrej Palat will replace Dadonov on the top line in Saturday's game.

Devils' Arseni Gritsyuk: Quiet in debut
Gritsyuk made his NHL debut in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.
Gritsyuk had a minus-2 rating and one hit in 9:52 of ice time. The 24-year-old is playing on a one-year, entry-level contract after recording 17 goals and 44 points in 49 regular-season outings with KHL St. Petersburg in 2024-25. Although he has shown offensive promise in the KHL, Gritsyuk would need to get bumped up from his current bottom-six role in order to have a chance at being a significant scorer in the NHL.

Devils' Brett Pesce: Nabs assist in 700th game
Pesce produced an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Pesce was able to get on the scoresheet in his 700th career game. The 30-year-old also played the milestone contest against his former team. He was limited by an undisclosed injury during the preseason, but he logged 21:42 of ice time to lead all Devils defensemen in this contest, indicating he is fine for a full workload. The 30-year-old has limited fantasy upside, as he's missed the 20-point mark in consecutive seasons and doesn't pile up hits or PIM in high quantities, though he has blocked at least 100 shots in a season in six of his first 10 campaigns.

Devils' Cody Glass: Nets goal in loss
Glass scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Glass opens 2025-26 as the Devils' third-line center. The 26-year-old tied the game at 2-2 in the second period off a feed from Luke Hughes. Glass has some potential after putting up 22 points in 65 regular-season appearances a year ago, including seven points in 14 outings with the Devils after he was acquired from the Penguins. His career high is 35 points in 72 games with the Predators in 2022-23, but with teams focusing on Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes, Glass could get more room to work with this year.

Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Finds back of net in loss
Hamilton potted a goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Hamilton netted his team's first goal of the season at 8:15 of the middle frame, which tied the score at 1-1. The veteran defenseman had a team-high five giveaways in this contest, so he'll look to clean up that area of his game ahead of Saturday's road matchup against the Lightning. Hamilton is skating in a top-four role while quarterbacking the No. 2 power-play unit to start the year.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Two helpers in defeat
Hughes collected two assists, two shots, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina.
Despite not playing in the preseason due to a contract dispute, Hughes is off to a strong start from an offensive perspective, and he also saw 20:46 of ice time in the season-opening defeat. The 22-year-old defenseman has a lot to live up to after signing a seven-year, $63 million contract earlier this month, but if Thursday's performance is any indication, Hughes could be on his way to shattering his high-water mark of 47 points, which he set during his first full season in 2023-24. The 2021 first-round pick is skating on the top pairing in addition to quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play group.

Devils' Jesper Bratt: Two points Thursday
Bratt supplied a goal, an assist and three hits in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Although the Devils didn't get off to a good start in 2025-26, Bratt certainly picked up where he left off after a career-high 88 points last season. The Swedish winger set up Dougie Hamilton's game-tying goal in the second period, and Bratt also tied the score at 3-3 in the third, but that was the last of New Jersey's offense for the night. The 27-year-old Bratt is once again working in a top-line role and on the No. 1 power-play unit, and he should see plenty of opportunities again Saturday in Tampa Bay, as the Lightning gave up five goals to the Senators on Thursday.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Allows two late goals in defeat
Markstrom conceded five goals on 32 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. One of the Hurricanes' goals was an empty-netter.
Markstrom and his club were in a tightly-contested game late in the final frame, but the Hurricanes exploded for three goals in the final three minutes. This was far from his best performance, though better days should be coming for Markstrom, as the Devils will likely give him plenty of offensive support throughout the season. Look for the Swedish netminder to get the nod again Saturday in Tampa Bay.
