Mueller wasn't tendered a qualifying offer by the Devils and will become an unrestricted free agent Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller registered just seven points in 50 games last season while averaging 17:39 of ice time. The departure of Mueller leaves New Jersey with just four defensemen under contract next year and could open up spots on the 23-man roster for players like Colton White, Matt Tennyson and Joshua Jacobs.

Mueller registered an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller had the secondary helper on Joey Anderson's empty-net tally. It's just the seventh point of the season for defensively-inclined Mueller. The Swiss blueliner has added 85 blocked shots and 58 hits through 48 appearances.

Mueller scored a goal and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller tied the game at one with his tally 7:07 into the first period. This is the first time in his six-year career that Mueller has scored more than one goal in a season. He's up to five points, 63 blocked shots and 44 hits in 38 appearances in 2019-20. Don't count on the Swiss defenseman to generate much offense.

Mueller posted an assist and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller collected a secondary assist on Miles Wood's opening score to notch his second point in three games. The 24-year-old Mueller is often a healthy scratch, but he logged 19:45 because both P.K. Subban (illness) and Sami Vatanen (undisclosed) were on the shelf. This sudden production by Mueller can't be counted on, however, as he posted just one point through the first 30 games.

Mueller had a minus-1 rating and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Colorado, extending his point drought to 10 games.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller has just one goal and no assists through 28 games played. The depth defenseman can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Mueller scored a goal and added a plus-1 rating, one shot on net, one hit and one block during a 3-1 loss to the Avalanche on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Mueller's first point of the season in 18 games. Friday was also the first time Mueller posted a plus-rating since Oct. 17. He owns a minus-8 rating in the last 13 games. Mueller is best used in leagues with blocks -- he has 24 of those in his 18 contests.

Mueller was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller doesn't have a point in 14 appearances this season, rotating in and out of a third-pairing role. His career high for goals in a season is one, so the lack of production doesn't come as a surprise.

Mueller recorded a plus-1 rating over 19:52 of ice time in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller spent nearly a third of his ice time (6:15) on the penalty kill. He scored a career-high 11 points in 53 games last season, but Mueller is still searching for his first point of 2019-20 through five appearances.

Mueller signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with New Jersey on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller set career highs last season in games played (53), assists (10) and points (11). The blueliner also topped 18 minutes of ice time per game for the first time in his five-year NHL career. Looking ahead to the 2019-20 campaign, the Switzerland native should be a near lock for the lineup on a game-to-game basis, which could see him challenge for the 20-point mark.

Mueller filed for arbitration Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Mueller finished the 2018-19 campaign with 11 points, 10 of which were assists. The second-pairing defenseman is coming off a contract that paid him $925,000 a season ago and $775,000 the season prior, so a raise should be forthcoming for the 24-year-old blueliner.
