Daws posted a 19-save shutout in AHL Utica's 3-0 win over Belleville on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Daws has gone 2-2-0 with a 1.51 GAA and a .942 save percentage over four games with Utica. He also won his lone NHL appearance while with the Devils during the absence of Jacob Markstrom, who battled a lower-body injury in October. Daws is brimming with potential should he get another extended look in the NHL at some point despite bumpy numbers over the last two AHL campaigns.

Daws has been reassigned by the Devils to AHL Utica, the team announced Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Jacob Markstrom having recovered from a lower-body injury, Daws is no longer needed at the NHL level. The 24-year-old Daws will head back to the AHL with one NHL start under his belt, in which he stopped 30 of 31 shots to beat the Wild.

Daws stopped 29 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
If Matt Boldy hadn't recorded a third-period goal Thursday, Daws would've had a shutout in his first appearance of the 2025-26 campaign. Daws will continue to operate as the backup behind Jake Allen as long as Jakob Markstrom (lower body) remains out, so Daws' fantasy value will not only be minimal, but it will also be dependent on his matchup.

Daws will serve as the starting netminder for Wednesday's home game against the Wild, James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daws was recalled from AHL Utica last Wednesday, and he'll have an opportunity to make his season debut against Minnesota. He made six regular-season appearances for the Devils last year, going 3-1-0 with a 1.60 GAA and .939 save percentage.

Daws was recalled from AHL Utica on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Zack MacEwen (upper body) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Daws was summoned because Jake Allen left Monday's 3-2 win over Columbus because of cramping. If Allen isn't available for Thursday's clash against Florida, then Jacob Markstrom will probably get the start while Daws serves as the understudy.

Daws was placed on waivers by the Devils for the purpose of assignment to AHL Utica, the team announced Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Daws got into six regular-season games with New Jersey last year, but with Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen on the roster and healthy, Daws was never expected to be in the NHL to start 2025-26. Assuming he clears waivers, the 24-year-old Daws is slated to begin the season with AHL Utica, where he went 11-20-3 with a 3.16 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 34 appearances last year.

Daws stopped 22 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 10 seconds left in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
This was Daws' first regular-season loss, and it was a subpar showing for the 24-year-old. Daws ends the campaign with a 3-1-0 across his six appearances, posting a 1.60 GAA and a .939 save percentage, albeit in a limited sample size.

Daws will draw the home start against the Red Wings on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daws was called up by the Devils on Wednesday, and he'll officially draw the start in the team's regular-season finale, while Jake Allen will serve as the backup. Daws has made five appearances for New Jersey this year, going 3-0-0 with a 0.88 GAA and .966 save percentage. He could stay with the big club as extra goaltending depth since AHL Utica is not in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Daws was recalled from AHL Utica on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils have already clinched a spot in the postseason, so Daws will join the NHL club ahead of the regular-season finale at home against the Red Wings on Wednesday. The Devils haven't yet announced a starter for Wednesday's matchup, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Daws tend the twine if Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen need some rest ahead of the playoffs. Daws will presumably head back to the minors before postseason play begins.

Daws was assigned to AHL Utica on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Daws had been solid over three appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, posting a 2-0-0 record, 0.49 GAA and .981 save percentage. However, he'll head back to the minors after Jacob Markstrom (knee) was activated off injured reserve.
