MacEwen (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

MacEwen has no points, four shots, six hits and one block in three appearances with New Jersey this season. His placement on IR means that he won't be an option for Saturday's game in Washington or Tuesday's tilt in Tampa Bay. Nathan Legare was recalled from AHL Utica in a corresponding move.

MacEwen sustained an undisclosed injury Wednesday versus the Blackhawks, and there was no update on his status after the game, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

MacEwen was playing in just his second game after missing 13 due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old's status won't be updated until Friday at the earliest, leaving him questionable to play Saturday versus the Capitals until more information is available.

MacEwen (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against the Islanders on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 13-game absence, MacEwen is poised to occupy a fourth-line role in Monday's matchup. He has two shots on goal, one hit and one blocked shot in one appearance this season.

MacEwen (upper body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Montreal, but he might be getting close to returning, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

MacEwen should participate in Friday's practice, and there might be more information about his status after that. The 29-year-old hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 11. Even when MacEwen's healthy, he might not play regularly.

MacEwen (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering MacEwen has been ruled out indefinitely at this point, his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. The fact that the team used the available roster spot to bring up netminder Nico Daws is something that should give fantasy managers pause, as it could be an indication that Jacob Markstrom or Jake Allen won't be available against the Panthers on Thursday. For his part, the 29-year-old MacEwen played in just 21 regular-season games for the Senators last season and was likely going to be a fringe roster player for the Devils as well.

MacEwen (undisclosed) will miss "an extended period of time," head coach Sheldon Keefe told Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site Monday.

EDGE Analysis

MacEwen suffered the injury late in the third period of Saturday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. Brian Halonen will replace MacEwen on the fourth line against Columbus on Monday.

MacEwen was summoned by New Jersey on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

MacEwen was put on waivers Saturday and reassigned to AHL Utica after he cleared, but it seems the 29-year-old will still be part of New Jersey's roster to begin the season. MacEwen had two goals, three points and 21 PIM in 21 outings with Ottawa as well as seven goals, 16 points and 29 PIM across 23 appearances with AHL Belleville during the 2024-25 regular season. The 29-year-old might play in a bottom-six capacity for the Devils' season opener against Carolina on Thursday, but MacEwen is also a candidate to serve as a healthy scratch.

MacEwen was placed on waivers Saturday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils acquired MacEwen from the Senators on Friday in exchange for Kurtis MacDermid. The 29-year-old MacEwen will head to AHL Utica if he clears waivers. He had two goals, one assist, 26 shots on net, 49 hits and 21 PIM across 21 regular-season appearances with Ottawa in 2024-25.

MacEwen was acquired by New Jersey from Ottawa on Friday in exchange for Kurtis MacDermid.

EDGE Analysis

MacEwen had two goals, three points and 21 PIM in 21 outings with Ottawa as well as seven goals, 16 points and 29 PIM across 23 appearances with AHL Belleville during the 2024-25 regular season. MacEwen might factor into the Devils' fourth line, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up spending a significant chunk of the season as a healthy scratch. There's even a chance New Jersey will attempt to push MacEwen through waivers despite having traded for him.

MacEwen (personal), along with forwards Angus Crookshank, Stephen Halliday, Cole Reinhardt, Jan Jenik, Tyler Boucher, Garrett Pilon and Wyatt Bongiovanni, defenseman Donovan Sebrango and goaltender Mads Sogaard, were recalled from AHL Belleville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

MacEwen took an indefinite leave of absence Jan. 21 from the Senators and returned to AHL Belleville on March 4. He managed two goals and five assists in eight games upon his return. None of the players called up should play in the postseason, barring a slew of injuries.
