Pietila was sent down to AHL San Diego on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Pietila did not suit up for an NHL contest during his brief stint on the big club's roster. He'll return to AHL San Diego where he's recorded 14 points in 32 games.

Pietila was promoted from AHL San Diego on Saturday, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pietila has recorded 14 points in 32 AHL games this season. It's unclear if he'll suit up for any NHL games as the Ducks don't play again until Jan. 27. The 26-year-old appeared in 19 NHL games with the Devils last season, recording one assist in the process.

Pietila signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Ducks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pietila has some NHL experience, appearing in 38 career games for the Devils, half of which came last season. He has only four points, though, so chances are he won't make the big club in Anaheim unless injuries strike.

Pietila was waived by the Devils on Friday, Chris Ryan of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan adds that the Devils are simply using waivers to create the possibility of Pietila heading to AHL Binghamton, but the transaction itself doesn't necessarily mean he'd end up at that level in the event that he clears. New Jersey is a mess with all of its injuries, so the winger with one assist through 19 games this season could stay put.

Pietila was called up from AHL Binghamton on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lauded for his work ethic and hockey smarts, Pietila has at least earned the right to be a popular call-up option for a struggling Devils team. He'll reportedly join the big club for its morning skate ahead of a home game against the Flames.

Pietila was reassigned to AHL Binghamton on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Michigan native produced a single point -- an assist -- over seven games after his New Year's Day promotion. With Pietila going back to the minors and Miles Wood (lower body) shifting to injured reserve, the Devils will simply go a different direction up front with Kurtis Gabriel and Nathan Bastian receiving promotions to the top level for Saturday's clash with the Ducks.

The Devils recalled Pietila from AHL Binghamton on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pietila hasn't spent any time with the big club this season, and he only played two games with the Devils last year. He's been brought up as a reinforcement since Taylor Hall (lower body) and Marcus Johansson are on injured reserve. The 25-year-old has compiled 12 goals and 22 points in 34 AHL games this campaign, and will likely slot into the bottom six if he cracks the lineup.

Pietila skated in two games in the 2017-18 season, logging five hits and a shot on goal but was held pointless.

EDGE Analysis

This was the third season that Pietla's played the majority of his games in the AHL, but after scoring 33 points in 49 games last season in the minors, he just mustered 22 tallies (12 goals, 10 assists) in 60 games. Pietila is more known for his defensive prowess as a forward, but with New Jersey having solid depth in its wingers, he'll once again have a hard time cracking the roster in 2018-19 as he returns for the final year of his contract.

Pietila was reassigned to AHL Binghamton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Michigan native made his season debut Sunday against the Hurricanes, and he displayed a bit of a mean streak with four hits over 9:30 of ice time. Selected by the Devils with a fifth-round (129th overall) draft pick in 2011, Pietila will look to build upon his 14-point total over 45 games with the AHL's Devils.

Pietila was recalled from AHL Binghamton on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils announced that Marcus Johnasson (concussion) will be out indefinitely, so Pietila will be on hand as a reinforcement option. Scouts have said his ceiling is that of a bottom-line winger, though he is able to play either the wing or center positions and hockey clubs always seem to appreciate that kind of versatility.
