Rotowire
Seney scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
The goal was Seney's first point at the NHL level through five appearances this season. It was also the first time he's scored in the NHL since his rookie year of 2018-19, when he had five goals and eight helpers in 51 contests with the Devils.
