Devils' Brian Halonen: Headed back to AHL

Halonen has been assigned to AHL Utica by the Devils, the team announced Sunday.

Cody Glass (upper body) returned Thursday against the Canadiens and Connor Brown (upper body) is day-to-day and inching closer to a return, so Halonen's services are no longer required at the NHL level. The 26-year-old Halonen made the most of his time with the big club, scoring his first NHL goal, but that was his only point in nine appearances so far this year.
