  • Devils' Nick DeSimone: Waived by New Jersey

    DeSimone was waived by New Jersey on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    DeSimone signed a one-year contract with New Jersey in late June but was unable to earn a spot on the team's Opening Night roster. He made 34 regular-season appearances in the NHL between Calgary and New Jersey last year, recording two goals and seven points while averaging 13:29 of ice time. DeSimone will likely head to the AHL if he clears waivers.

    DeSimone registered two goals, seven points, 28 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 29 hits in 34 games between the Devils and Flames in 2023-24. He will compete for a depth spot on New Jersey's blue line during training camp in the fall.

  • Devils' Nick DeSimone: Effective since entering lineup

    DeSimone had one hit and a plus-1 rating across 11:27 of ice time in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

    DeSimone had to wait six weeks to make his Devils debut after being claimed off waivers from Calgary, but the former Flame is off to a hot start in New Jersey. He had an assist in his Devils debut Thursday against the Stars, then scored a goal Saturday in Arizona. While DeSimone was finally held off the scoresheet Sunday, he still made a positive impact as the only New Jersey player to post a positive rating in the game. DeSimone was on the ice for Nico Hischier's unassisted third-period goal and none of the three subsequent Vegas tallies.

    DeSimone has a goal, five points, 19 shots, 12 hits and 21 blocks in 23 contests this season. Although he might not make his Devils debut Thursday in Carolina, DeSimone is likely to serve as a third-pairing defenseman once he does draw into the lineup.

  • Flames' Nick DeSimone: Lands on waivers

    DeSimone was designated for waivers Wednesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

    DeSimone's waiver placement is a strong indication that Oliver Kylington (personal) is ready to return to action. The 29-year-old DeSimone has managed just one goal and four assists in his 23 NHL games this season while averaging a meager 12:03 of ice time. Assuming he clears waivers, DeSimone figures to be sent down to AHL Calgary.

He's been a rotational option on the third pairing this season, though it appears he has an edge over Jordan Oesterle for now.
