O'Neill was sent back to AHL Albany on Wednesday, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis

O'Neill was assigned to AHL Albany on Wednesday, Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Travis Zajac (upper body) on the verge of returning to action, the Devils are no longer in need of O'Neill's services as a depth forward. The 27-year-old forward has suited up for 22 games with New Jersey this season, tallying two assists and 14 shots on goal in those contests. O'Neill likely won't return to the big club until the Devils' depth at forward is once again tested by injury.

O'Neill was placed on waivers Wednesday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being acquired from the Kings this offseason, the former Yale standout has failed to make a mark in New Jersey. O'Neill lead the AHL in scoring (80 points in 71 games) en route to winning the Calder Cup with the Manchester Monarchs in 2014-15, but has just two assists for the Devils in 22 games this season.

O'Neill will make his season debut Saturday against the Capitals, Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill, who was recently acquired by the Devils from the Kings in exchange for a conditional 2017 seventh-round pick, was an offensive force to be reckoned with in the AHL last season, posting an astounding 80 points (22 goals, 58 assists) in 71 games with AHL Manchester. Those totals were good enough to earn him AHL MVP honors for the 2014-15 campaign. He won't come close to that level of production in the NHL, but could still be a difference maker on the offensive end of the ice for the Devils.

O'Neill was traded to the Devils in exchange for a conditional 2017 seventh round pick Tuesday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill was almost able to secure a spot on the King's 23-man roster, but ultimately was unable to make the cut. The Kings will only receive a 2017 seventh round pick if the Devils re-sign O'Neill for the 2016-17 season, so they ultimately received very little in return for last year's AHL MVP. O'Neill was fantastic with AHL Manchester in 2014-15, racking up 80 points (22 goals, 58 assists) in 71 games with the team. The 27-year-old forward will likely be in the Devils' lineup for Friday's regular-season opener against the Jets, but his role with the team remains to be seen.
