Rotowire
Halonen scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Utica's 7-4 win over Rochester on Sunday.
Halonen snapped a four-game slump, his longest of the season at the AHL level, with this performance. He's up to 15 goals, six assists and a plus-6 rating over 28 appearances. Even with time in the NHL this season, Halonen could still match his 40-point performance from 62 AHL games in the 2024-25 regular season.

Devils' Brian Halonen: Headed back to AHL
Rotowire
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.

Halonen was recalled from AHL Utica on Thursday.
Halonen made his NHL debut with the Devils last year by appearing in two games and logging two shots on goal and two hits while averaging 8:17 of ice time.
