23 Mikhail Maltsev LW

Maltsev supplied a goal on his only shot in a 3-2 loss to Washington on Sunday.

Inserted into the lineup in place of the injured Nico Hischier (face), Maltsev opened the scoring 6:45 into the game with a snap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle. The 22-year-old has only been in the lineup on five occasions in 2020-21, but he's managed to light the lamp in two of his last four.

Maltsev was promoted to the active roster and will play in Sunday's game versus the Capitals.

Nico Hischier (face) will sit out, so Maltsev will enter the lineup. He's expected to handle a bottom-six role. The 22-year-old has played four NHL games this year, providing a goal on 10 shots.

Maltsev was reassigned to New Jersey's taxi squad Tuesday.

Maltsev has been in the lineup for four of the Devils' last five games, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back on the active roster soon, though it's safe to assume he won't be available for Tuesday's game versus the Sabres. He's potted one goal in his four appearances this year.

The Devils reassigned Maltsev to the active roster Sunday.

Maltsev didn't suit up in Saturday's loss to Buffalo, but as evidenced by this news, he could return to the lineup for Sunday's game against Washington. In three games this season, the 22-year-old has one assist, seven shots, four hits and a plus-2 rating. Maltsev replaced Yegor Sharangovich on the active roster.

This is just the daily roster shuffle for the Devils, as Maltsev is fully expected to rejoin the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Sabres.

Maltsev is expected to center the Devils' second line during Thursday's matchup with Boston. The 22-year-old Russian potted his first NHL goal in 13:41 of ice time Tuesday against the Rangers.

Maltsev was reassigned to New Jersey's taxi squad Wednesday.

Maltsev potted his first NHL goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, so the 22-year-old forward could be back on the active roster in short order. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Devils make that move ahead of Thursday's game against Boston.

Maltsev was promoted from the taxi squad Tuesday, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.

Maltsev is in line to play Tuesday against the Rangers. The Devils will play a game for the first time since Jan. 31, when Maltsev made his NHL debut. The 22-year-old recorded 21 points over 49 AHL games last year. In turn, fantasy managers shouldn't expect much offensive upside.

Maltsev was recalled to the taxi squad from the minors Monday.

Maltsev played in the Devils' last game against the Sabres on Jan. 31 but figures to remain on the taxi squad for Tuesday's clash with the Rangers. Still, the 22-year-old winger racked up 21 points in 49 minor-league contests last year and could offer some offensive upside.

Maltsev was reassigned to AHL Binghamton on Saturday.

Maltsev made his NHL debut Jan. 31 against the Sabres, logging one shot on goal in 10:20 of ice time. The 2016 fourth-round pick could be in for an extended stay in the minors.

Maltsev was reassigned to the taxi squad Wednesday.

Maltsev logged 10:20 of ice time in the team's last game Jan. 31 against the Sabres in which he recorded two hits and one shot. Once the Devils return to action, Maltsev could still make a push for a spot on the active roster but is more likely to be a fringe option for the club.

The Devils recalled Maltsev from the taxi squad to the active roster Sunday.

The 22-year-old began the season in the KHL with SKA St. Petersburg, recording one assist over four games. Maltsev will get his first taste of NHL action soon, as he's expected to make his debut in Sunday's game against Buffalo.
