Dell stopped 18 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
He held New York off the scoreboard for two periods, but the Isles finally broke through in the third while the Devils didn't score their goal until Dell was on the bench in the dying seconds of the game. The 31-year-old netminder is winless in his two starts this season, and he doesn't appear to be much of a threat to cut into MacKenzie Blackwood's workload.

Dell will guard the home net in Tuesday's game versus the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
MacKenzie Blackwood will get some rest after four straight starts, so Dell will make his home debut for the Devils. The 31-year-old was on the wrong side of a comeback in his Devils debut Feb. 21, allowing four goals on 41 shots. The Islanders are a favorable matchup, ranking 22nd in the league with 2.67 goals per game.

Dell turned aside 37 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Seeing his first action of the season, Dell was handed a 2-0 lead early in the second period but couldn't make it hold up in the face of a Caps power play that scored three times in the game's final 27 minutes. MacKenzie Blackwood is entrenched as the Devils' No. 1 netminder, but Dell gives the team another option besides Scott Wedgewood in the No. 2 spot.

Dell will patrol the road crease in Sunday's matchup versus Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Dell was claimed off waivers by the Devils on Jan. 18, and after finishing his conditioning stint with AHL Binghamton on Monday, he'll make his first start of the 2021 season. The 31-year-old was with the Sharks last season, going 12-15-3 along with a 3.01 GAA and .907 save percentage in 33 appearances. Dell will draw a tough matchup against a Washington offense that sits ninth in the league in goals per game this season (3.31). MacKenzie Blackwood will get the day off Sunday, so Scott Wedgewood will work as the No. 2 goalie for the contest.

Dell was recalled from his conditioning stint in AHL Binghamton on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Dell could back up MacKenzie Blackwood in Tuesday's game against the Rangers. The 31-year-old has yet to make his season debut. He made 33 appearances with the Sharks last year, providing a .907 save percentage and a 12-15-3 record.

Dell was assigned to AHL Binghamton for conditioning purposes Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils claimed Dell off waivers Jan. 18. He got hung up with immigration, and then he required a quarantine period once he arrived in New Jersey. In turn, the Devils want to ensure his conditioning is up to par when the team resumes play. At this time, they're scheduled to play Tuesday against the Rangers, although that's subject to change.

Dell has been removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell was only on the protocols list while quarantining after being claimed off waivers by the Devils on Jan. 18, so he's been able to avoid the team's massive outbreak. New Jersey has shut down its training center in an attempt to quell its outbreak, so at this point it isn't clear when Dell will be able to get on the ice with his new teammates.

Dell arrived in New Jersey on Thursday and was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell has arrived 10 days after being claimed off waivers from the Maple Leafs. The 31-year-old netminder will need to complete a seven-day quarantine before joining the team. MacKenzie Blackwood is also in virus protocol. Dell likely will back up Blackwood once both players join the team.

Dell is expected to arrive in New Jersey on Thursday, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell was claimed off waivers Jan. 18, and Thursday will mark 10 days since that transaction. It's still unclear if he'll need more time to quarantine, but he should be ready to join the team soon. Dell could immediately serve as Scott Wedgewood's backup until MacKenzie Blackwood returns from COVID-19 protocol.

The Devils claimed Dell off waivers from the Maple Leafs on Monday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was a wise pickup by the Devils, as they look to add depth in net after Corey Crawford abruptly retired during training camp. Dell didn't play a game for the Maple Leafs this year, but he made 33 appearances for the Sharks last season, recording a .907 save percentage, a 3.01 GAA and a 12-15-3 record. The 31-year-old will be required to quarantine once he arrives in New Jersey, so it'll be at least a week before he joins the Devils on the ice.
