Appleby was recalled from ECHL Worcester on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Appleby was promoted to serve as Ilya Sorokin's backup with Semyon Varlamov (illness) unavailable. The 27-year-old hasn't seen an NHL action since the 2017-18 campaign with the Devils. He's sporting a .918 save percentage in 26 ECHL appearances and will likely be sent back down after the game.
