MacEwen (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
MacEwen has no points, four shots, six hits and one block in three appearances with New Jersey this season. His placement on IR means that he won't be an option for Saturday's game in Washington or Tuesday's tilt in Tampa Bay. Nathan Legare was recalled from AHL Utica in a corresponding move.

Devils' Zack MacEwen: Lands on injured reserve
Rotowire
MacEwen (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.
Considering MacEwen has been ruled out indefinitely at this point, his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. The fact that the team used the available roster spot to bring up netminder Nico Daws is something that should give fantasy managers pause, as it could be an indication that Jacob Markstrom or Jake Allen won't be available against the Panthers on Thursday. For his part, the 29-year-old MacEwen played in just 21 regular-season games for the Senators last season and was likely going to be a fringe roster player for the Devils as well.

Devils' Zack MacEwen: Up from minors
Rotowire
MacEwen was summoned by New Jersey on Wednesday.
MacEwen was put on waivers Saturday and reassigned to AHL Utica after he cleared, but it seems the 29-year-old will still be part of New Jersey's roster to begin the season. MacEwen had two goals, three points and 21 PIM in 21 outings with Ottawa as well as seven goals, 16 points and 29 PIM across 23 appearances with AHL Belleville during the 2024-25 regular season. The 29-year-old might play in a bottom-six capacity for the Devils' season opener against Carolina on Thursday, but MacEwen is also a candidate to serve as a healthy scratch.

Devils' Zack MacEwen: Acquired Friday
Rotowire
MacEwen was acquired by New Jersey from Ottawa on Friday in exchange for Kurtis MacDermid.
MacEwen had two goals, three points and 21 PIM in 21 outings with Ottawa as well as seven goals, 16 points and 29 PIM across 23 appearances with AHL Belleville during the 2024-25 regular season. MacEwen might factor into the Devils' fourth line, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up spending a significant chunk of the season as a healthy scratch. There's even a chance New Jersey will attempt to push MacEwen through waivers despite having traded for him.

Senators' Zack MacEwen: Nabs assist in win
Rotowire
MacEwen provided an assist and five hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
MacEwen got on the scoresheet for the first time since his two-goal game versus the Kings on Oct. 14. The 28-year-old has seen steady fourth-line usage this season, though that's a role that rarely leads to offense. He's produced three points, 11 shots on net, 20 hits, nine PIM and a plus-3 rating through 10 appearances. MacEwen has seen less than 10 minutes of ice time in nine contests, so he has little opportunity to chip in.

MacEwen (lower body) will return to Ottawa after sustaining an injury in Saturday's road game versus the Flyers, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Senators' Zack MacEwen: Under the weather
Rotowire
MacEwen will not be in action versus Seattle on Thursday due to an illness, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
MacEwen has garnered a meager two points in 14 games this season while averaging a paltry 5:45 of ice time. Without the 27-year-old center in the lineup, Angus Crookshank figures to take on a fourth-line role versus the Kraken. For his part, MacEwen is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value even once he returns to the lineup.
