Dadonov (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov's 2025-26 campaign has been plagued by injuries, as he missed 17 games with a hand injury suffered during the season opener versus the Hurricanes on Oct. 9. After just four games back in the lineup, the Russian winger then suffered the wrist injury that is expected to sideline him long term. Other than moving him to injured reserve, the Devils haven't provided an update on Dadonov, so fantasy managers should probably consider him out indefinitely for now.

Dadonov (undisclosed) is expected to miss an extended period of time but is undergoing additional evaluation, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov just returned recently from a 17-game absence due to a hand injury. The veteran winger is pointless in only five outings this year. He had 20 goals and 40 points in 80 regular-season appearances last campaign. However, his lack of offense and injury concerns have hindered his fantasy appeal this time around.

Dadonov (undisclosed) likely won't be an option for Wednesday's game against St. Louis, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov is undergoing an evaluation after suffering an injury in Monday's 4-3 win over Detroit. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances this season while posting seven shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits. Based on Tuesday's practice, Juho Lammikko will replace Dadonov in Wednesday's lineup against the Blues.

Dadonov (hand) was activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 17-game absence, Dadonov should return to the lineup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday despite being called a game-time decision. He hasn't played since New Jersey's season opener when he posted two shots on goal and two blocked shots in 9:32 of ice time against Carolina on Oct. 9. Dadonov had 20 goals and 40 points in 80 regular-season appearances last campaign.

Dadonov (hand) will be a game-time call ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Tampa Bay, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov has been out of the lineup since Opening Night versus the Hurricanes on Oct. 9, missing 17 games due to his hand injury. If the 36-year-old winger does slot in against the Bolts, it would likely come in a middle-six role while Shane Lachance would be dropped from the lineup. In order to play, Dadonov will first need to be activated off injured reserve.

Dadonov (hand) will join the Devils for their upcoming three-game road trip, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov has already missed the necessary number of games to be activated off long-term injured reserve. While the 36-year-old winger is joining the team on the road, it doesn't guarantee he will get into the lineup during the next three games. Still, it's a step in the right direction for Dadonov.

Dadonov (hand) was designated for long-term injured reserve Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov was placed on injured reserve earlier Sunday, but this latest transaction allows the Devils to gain $1 million in cap space. The veteran winger will now have to miss at least the next 10 games, so he won't return to the lineup until sometime in November, provided that his recovery goes smoothly. Zack MacEwen should play more regularly as a result of Dadonov's extended absence.

Dadonov (hand) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov sustained the injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina. He won't be eligible to return until at least Saturday against Edmonton after going on the IR list, but an exact timeline for his return remains unclear. Dadonov logged only 9:32 of ice time in New Jersey's season opener versus the Hurricanes, failing to earn a point while posting two shots on net and two blocked shots.

Dadonov (hand) will miss at least the next two games and will be evaluated further before Thursday's home opener against Florida, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov sustained a fracture in his hand during Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina. He will miss at least Saturday's matchup versus Tampa Bay and Monday's contest at Columbus. A better timeline for his return should emerge afterward. Ondrej Palat will replace Dadonov on the top line in Saturday's game.

Dadonov took a shot to the hand and was unable to finish Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dadonov was reportedly unable to grip his stick after the injury occurred, preventing him from returning to the game. X-rays came back negative, so Dadonov should be considered day-to-day for now. He is questionable to play Saturday versus the Lightning.
