New Jersey waived Russo on Tuesday, according to CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Russo registered three goals and 35 points in 70 games with Utica of the AHL last season. He hasn't dressed in an NHL game since 2016-17 when he played in 19 contests for Detroit.

Russo was placed on waivers by the Devils on Sunday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Russo was always a long-shot to make the roster after signing a two-way deal with the Devils in the offseason. He hasn't appeared at the NHL level since going scoreless over 19 games with Detroit in 2016-17 and will begin the season with AHL Utica if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Russo signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Devils on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Russo appeared in 34 games with AHL San Jose last season, picking up 15 points over that span. He'll likely once again spent the entirety of the upcoming campaign in the minors.

The Coyotes reassigned Russo to AHL Tucson on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Russo hasn't played in the NHL since the 2016-17 campaign, and he didn't make his Coyotes debut during this recall. This move likely means Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) will be ready for Monday's game versus the Canadiens.

Russo was called up from AHL Tucson on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Russo's promotion comes as both Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) and Jason Demers (lower body) are dealing with injuries. Even if both guys can't go, Russo May still find himself in the press box as an emergency depth option. If the 26-year-old does play for the Yotes, it would likely come at the expense of Ilya Lyubushkin or Aaron Ness.

Arizona assigned Russo to AHL Tucson on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Russo has been a healthy scratch for four consecutive contests since being promoted Dec. 9, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in an NHL contest since 2016-17, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to have him on their radar.

The Coyotes recalled Russo from AHL Tucson on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old hasn't played a game at the NHL level since 2016 with the Red Wings, and has yet to record a point. Russo has recorded one goal and eight points with AHL Tucson this year in 23 games. Even if Russo enters the lineup for Tuesday's game against Calgary, he's unlikely to make an impact from a fantasy perspective.

Russo secured a one-year, two-way contract with the Coyotes on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Russo led the AHL Tuscon blueliners in scoring during 2018-19, racking up six goals and 33 assists over 67 contests. The 26-year-old has seen action in just 13 NHL games so far in his career, but continued offensive success could make him a candidate to claim an NHL roster spot in the coming seasons.

Russo was reassigned to the AHL's Roadrunners on Monday, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Russo got called up because Jakob Chychrun is dealing with a lower-body injury, and Jason Demers just suffered a knee injury. However, he didn't get placed in the lineup. Demers isn't returning anytime soon, but this might mean that Chychrun will be good to go Wednesday.

Russo was promoted from AHL Tucson on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Russo joins the Yotes after Jason Demers suffered a lower-body injury versus Nashville on Thursday. If Demers is unable to play versus Boston on Saturday, either Dakota Mermis or Russo figures to slot into the blue line.
