Geertsen was claimed off waivers by the Devils on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Geertsen didn't appear in any NHL contests last season, but he did draw into 20 games with AHL Hartford, picking up five points and 43 PIM over that span. Geertsen may get into a few top-level contests when New Jersey is in need of an enforcer this year, but the 26-year-old blueliner will likely spend most of the campaign in the minors.
