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.

Daws allowed a goal on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Daws has won all three of his starts at the NHL level this season, and they've all come on the road over the last month. He's allowed just three goals on 88 shots over five appearances in total. Daws was able to limit the damage Saturday to a Mikhail Sergachev goal midway through the contest. Jake Allen hasn't been at his best lately, allowing Daws a brief chance to claim more playing time before Jacob Markstrom (knee) returns to action. The Devils are in action again Sunday in Vegas, which will likely be a start for Allen.

Daws will guard the road goal against Utah on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his last start, Daws stopped 29 shots in a 5-0 win over Nashville on Sunday. He has stopped 61 of 63 shots en route to a 2-0-0 record in four NHL appearances this season. Utah is tied for 21st in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25.

Daws played the final 1:42 of Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche and did not face a shot.
EDGE Analysis
Jake Allen was on the hook for all five goals, including three in a span of 4:04 late in the third period. Daws' time on the NHL roster may be coming to a close soon, as Jacob Markstrom is practicing with the Devils during their current five-game road trip. That leaves the goaltending plans a bit up in the air for this weekend's back-to-back (Saturday at Utah, Sunday at Vegas). If Markstrom is not cleared to return for either of those games, Daws would likely split the starts with Allen.

Daws recorded a 29-save shutout in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Daws has made three appearances this season, and while that's not enough to generate a strong enough sample size, there's no doubt he's turned heads so far. Over those three outings, including two starts, Daws has given up just two goals across 61 shots. The 24-year-old should get the chance to return to the ice at some point during the Devils' current road trip, as the team's next four games will be away from home.

Daws will guard the road goal against the Predators on Sunday, per Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Daws will get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jake Allen played in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dallas. The 24-year-old Daws has stopped 32 of 34 shots over two NHL outings this season. Nashville is tied for 29th in the league with 2.64 goals per game in 2024-25 and earned a 2-1 win over Colorado on Saturday.

The Devils recalled Daws from AHL Utica on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Daws was sent down at the break to get in some playing time and went 1-1-0. allowing six goals on 63 shots. Daws is 1-0-0 at the NHL level this season, giving up only two goals on 34 shots. He will continue to back up Jake Allen while Jacob Markstrom continues to recover from a sprained MCL.
