Bowers inked a two-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowers saw action in just eight NHL games this season in which he generated zero points, seven shots and three hits while averaging 9:27 of ice time. Even in the minors, the 24-year-old center didn't offer much in the way of offensive output with a mere 14 points in 43 games for AHL Utica. Bowers should probably be expected to spend the bulk of the next two years in the minors with the occasional call-up.

Bowers was recalled by New Jersey on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils are dealing with a bunch of injuries up front, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Bowers jump into a bottom-six role immediately against the Lightning on Thursday. He has yet to appear in an NHL contest this season.

Bowers (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and assigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowers has spent the last month on injured reserve, and he was initially given a six-week timeline for an injury suffered Nov. 10. It appears he may have beat that estimate, as the Avalanche didn't designate this as a conditioning assignment, With the plethora of injuries at the NHL level, he may be called up again soon if the Avalanche need an extra forward.
