Daws was reassigned to AHL Utica following Saturday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Daws served as the backup for Saturday's contest. The 24-year-old netminder made two appearances (one start) during this stint in the NHL, stopping 32 of 34 shots and going 1-0-0. Daws may be up with the Devils again in a couple of weeks, as Jacob Markstrom (knee) is expected to be out until early March.

Daws stopped 25 shots in regulation and overtime and five of seven shootout attempts in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils took a 2-0 lead midway through the second period on Jack Hughes' second goal of the night, but Daws saw the lead slip away before the end of regulation. The 24-year-old netminder was then able to outduel Alex Nedeljkovic in the shootout to pick up his first NHL win of the season. New Jersey plays twice more before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, at home Thursday against the Golden Knights and then Saturday in Montreal, but Jake Allen seems likely to get the nod in both those games. With Jacob Markstrom (knee) not expected back until at least early March, Daws may have to wait until after the break before he gets another start for the Devils.

Daws will be in the road goal in Tuesday's divisional matchup against the Penguins, per Devils play-by-play announcer Bill Spaulding.

EDGE Analysis

Daws will make his first start of the campaign Tuesday -- he stopped all seven shots he faced in relief of Jake Allen on Sunday in a 4-3 loss to the Sabres. The 24-year-old had a 9-11-0 record, .894 save percentage and 3.15 GAA over 21 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Daws stopped all seven shots he faced in relief of Jake Allen in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Allen's poor performance earned him a trip to the bench after two periods. Daws did well in mop-up duty, allowing the Devils to attempt a comeback that fell a goal short. This was Daws' first NHL appearance of the season after he went 9-11-0 with a 3.15 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 21 appearances in 2023-24. The Devils don't have a back-to-back set in the last week before the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it's possible the 24-year-old netminder will get a start in one of those three games anyway.

Daws was recalled from AHL Utica on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Daws will likely back up Jake Allen in Buffalo on Sunday as Jacob Markstrom (knee) is out another 3-5 weeks. Daws started the season with the Devils in Europe as their third goaltender during the NHL Global Series but has spent most of the season with Utica, where he was 5-14-1 with a 3.40 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 21 AHL contests.

Daws was reassigned to AHL Utica on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Daws' demotion is an indication that Jake Allen (upper body) will be ready to at least serve as the backup against St. Louis on Tuesday. Last season, the 23-year-old Daws saw action in 21 regular-season games for the Devils in which he went 9-11-0 with a 3.15 GAA. Daws has yet to get into the lineup for New Jersey this season, playing all of his games in the minors so far this year.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey moved Isaac Poulter back to the minors in a corresponding move. Daws has a 3-9-1 record with a 2.96 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 14 AHL outings this season. The 23-year-old Daws will occupy the backup role behind Jacob Markstrom while Jake Allen (upper body) continues to recover.

EDGE Analysis

Daws posted a 9-11-0 record with a 3.15 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 21 appearances with New Jersey during the 2023-24 regular season. He could be back with the Devils if Jacob Markstrom or Jake Allen suffer injuries in 2024-25.

Daws inked a two-year contract with New Jersey on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Daws' contract is a two-way deal in year one before it converts to a one-way in the second season. It's an unsurprising clause when you consider the team has both Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen under contract for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign. Look for Daws to spend nearly the entire season in the minors with AHL Utica -- unless Markstrom or Allen picks up an injury at some point.

EDGE Analysis

Daws managed just one win in his last five outings, posting a 1-3-0 record and 2.88 GAA. With new additions Jake Allen and Kaapo Kahkonen available, Daws was the odd man out and figures to spend the remainder of the campaign in the minors, barring an injury to one of the aforementioned backstops.
