Halonen was recalled from AHL Utica on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Halonen made his NHL debut with the Devils last year by appearing in two games and logging two shots on goal and two hits while averaging 8:17 of ice time. He'll rejoin New Jersey for the first time this season since Stefan Noesen (illness) and Erik Haula (ankle) will be unavailable for Thursday's game against the Maple Leafs. However, it seems unlikely that Halonen will play a significant role for the Devils if he enters the lineup.

Halonen inked a two-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Halonen played in just two NHL games this season in which he registered two shots and two hits while averaging 8:17 of ice time. The 25-year-old winger was significantly more productive in the minors, racking up 20 goals and nine helpers with AHL Utica. Even with this new deal in hand, Halonen figures to remain primarily an AHL option for the club next season.

Halonen was called up from AHL Utica on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Halonen's promotion would seem to indicate that Kurtis MacDermid (lower body) and Curtis Lazar (lower body) won't be available to face the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. For his part, the 25-year-old Halonen made his NHL debut against the Lightning back on Feb. 25 -- a game in which he registered one shot in 9:07 of ice time.

Halonen (undisclosed) was activated off non-roster injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Utica on Saturday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Halonen hasn't played yet this season, but his transfer to the minors suggests he's recovered from his injury. The 24-year-old scored 17 goals and 30 points in 57 AHL contests in 2022-23. He hasn't made his NHL debut.

Halonen (undisclosed) was moved to the non-roster injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Halonen picked up an injury at some point this preseason but it's unclear when or how long he's expected to be out. The 24-year-old winger has yet to make his NHL debut and will likely head to AHL Utica once he's healthy.
