White notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Lightning.
White has been in a part-time role recently, sharing a third-pairing spot with Dennis Cholowski. The helper Thursday was White's first point in 11 outings for the Devils this season. He's added five shots on net, 12 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He can play a decent physical game, but the 28-year-old offers minimal scoring upside and won't be a factor in the vast majority of fantasy formats.

Devils' Stefan Noesen: Chips in with assist
Rotowire
Noesen notched an assist, five shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Lightning.
Noesen snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper. He's contributed just three assists with 25 PIM, 28 shots and 21 hits over his last 21 outings. The 32-year-old has been pressed into a larger role due to a number of absences for the Devils, but the increased ice time hasn't resulted in more offense yet. Overall, he's at four points, 34 shots, 27 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 25 appearances.

Devils' Simon Nemec: Picks up pair of helpers
Rotowire
Nemec notched two assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Lightning.
Nemec is heating up again with three points over his last two games. The 21-year-old blueliner has contributed decent offense regardless of his spot in the lineup this season, and he's bounced around semi-frequently. For the year, he's up to seven goals, 11 helpers, 50 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 31 outings. He needs two more points to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his three-year career.

Devils' Angus Crookshank: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Crookshank scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Lightning.
The goal was Crookshank's first point in four appearances. The 26-year-old winger is holding onto a fourth-line role for now amid a tough stretch of injuries for the Devils. He's produced three shots on net, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating, but he's unlikely to score his way into the picture for fantasy managers.

Devils' Jake Allen: Takes loss in relief
Rotowire
Allen made 23 saves in relief Thursday's 8-4 loss to Tampa Bay. He allowed five goals.
The Devils have been horrible lately, losing six of their past seven games and five consecutive at home. Allen is 1-5-0 in his last five starts. The win was by shutout, but three of those losses had at least five goals go past. You cannot have Allen or Jacob Markstrom in your net until they regain their bearings.

Devils' Jacob Markstrom: Gets hook after three quick goals
Rotowire
Markstrom allowed three goals on seven shots Thursday against Tampa Bay before being replaced by Jake Allen before the mid-point of the first period. The Lightning won 8-4.
He was visibly frustrated after the game. "It is a step back," Markstrom said. "We've got to be honest with ourselves. ... Got to look yourself in the mirror and got to be better. What did I play? Five minutes today? That's not what I want to do." Markstrom is 1-3-0 with 16 goals allowed in his last five starts.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Pounds out hits and adds offense
Rotowire
Cotter had a goal, an assist and six hits in an 8-4 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.
The goal came on a late third period power play to make the score 7-4. Cotter has a goal in each of his last two games (three points), but he has just seven nine points (four goals, five assists) in 31 games this season. Cotter's fantasy value is tied to his ability to bruise, and he has 85 hits so far. That's a 225-hit pace, and it would be his third consecutive season at that level.

Devils' Luke Hughes: Three points in last three games
Rotowire
Hughes had a goal and an assist in an 8-4 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Hughes took a pass, spun away from a Tampa Bay defender and fired a quick snap shot past Jonas Johansson. He has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last three games after going five games without a point. The goal was Hughes' first in 13 games. He has 17 points (two goals, 15 assists) in 31 games this season. His 2.9 shooting percentage is plenty unlucky -- his career average is 5.8. So, watch for a few more goals off Hughes' stick.

Devils' Jesper Bratt: First goal in 17 games
Rotowire
Bratt scored a power-play goal Thursday in an 8-4 loss to the Lightning.
It came on a breakaway in the second period. It was Bratt's first goal in 17 games and first point in five games. He's scuffling with just six goals this season, but his shooting percentage is a multi-season low of 8.6. At this point, Bratt is on pace for another 70-point season. Trouble is you drafted him as an 80-85 point guy.
Markstrom will defend the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Thursday, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Markstrom stopped 35 shots in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Tuesday, his first victory in four starts. Overall, Markstrom is 8-6-1 with a 3.48 GAA and an .880 save percentage across 15 starts this season. The Lightning are scoring 3.13 goals per game this season, 12th in the NHL

Devils' Xavier Parent: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Parent was elevated from AHL Utica on Thursday.
Parent has never appeared in an NHL game, and while he's far from a lock to play against the Lightning on Thursday, his 12 points in 20 minor-league games this year could convince the coaching staff to give him a look. If Parent does get into the lineup, it will likely come at the expense of Juho Lammikko, who has served as a healthy scratch for the last three contests.

Devils' Evgenii Dadonov: Shifts to injured reserve
Rotowire
Dadonov (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Dadonov's 2025-26 campaign has been plagued by injuries, as he missed 17 games with a hand injury suffered during the season opener versus the Hurricanes on Oct. 9. After just four games back in the lineup, the Russian winger then suffered the wrist injury that is expected to sideline him long term. Other than moving him to injured reserve, the Devils haven't provided an update on Dadonov, so fantasy managers should probably consider him out indefinitely for now.

Devils' Timo Meier: Taking leave of absence
Rotowire
Meier will be taking a leave of absence from the Devils for personal reasons, the team announced Thursday.
Given the personal nature of Meier's absence, there is no clear indication when the 29-year-old winger might rejoin the team. If needed, the Devils could place Meier on the non-roster list in order to free up a spot on the 23-man roster.
Siegenthaler's point drought is up to 18 games after he was held scoreless with three hits and five blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
Siegenthaler is primarily a shutdown defenseman, so the lack of offense isn't too surprising, though he's usually able to chip in a little more than he has this year. He's at just two assists with 23 shots on net, 25 PIM, 44 hits, 57 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 30 appearances. He's failed to reach 10 points in each of the last two campaigns, and it's not looking good for him to reverse that trend in 2025-26.

Devils' Paul Cotter: Puts away goal
Rotowire
Cotter scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
Cotter's goal gave the Devils their first lead of the game at 4:21 of the second period. The 26-year-old forward snapped his five-game slump with the tally. He's seen inconsistent offense as a bottom-six regular this year, earning seven points with 30 shots on net, 79 hits, 11 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 30 outings overall.

Devils' Simon Nemec: Lights lamp in win
Rotowire
Nemec scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
Nemec scored at 5:09 of the first period to tie the game at 1-1. The 21-year-old defenseman had gone four contests without a point prior to Tuesday. He's on the third pairing at even strength, which could lead to some inconsistent offense, but he still has a sizeable power-play role. For the season, Nemec is at seven goals, 16 points, 47 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 30 appearances.

Devils' Cody Glass: Scores winner Tuesday
Rotowire
Glass scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over the Senators.
The Devils' third line led the way offensively in Tuesday's contest, as Glass, Connor Brown and Arseny Gritsyuk combined for two goals and eight points. Glass snapped a seven-game point drought with the performance, and the helper was his first of the 2025-26 campaign. Through 19 appearances, he's managed five goals but only six points.

Devils' Arseny Gritsyuk: Three-point effort in Ottawa
Rotowire
Gritsyuk scored a goal and added two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
The Devils' third line powered the offense Tuesday, with Gritsyuk, Connor Brown and Cody Glass combining for two goals and eight points. Gritsyuk had been slowing down as the grind of his first NHL season might be catching up to him. He had just two goals and one assist in 10 contests going into Tuesday's matchup. In 30 games, the 24-year-old winger has seven goals and 16 points, putting him fifth in scoring among all rookies.
