Blackwood has gone 6-7-0 wth a 2.69 GAA and .911 SV% in 15 games with Binghamton this season. The 22-year-old, former second-round pick (No.42 overall in 2015) will serve as the Devils’ No.2 netminder while Cory Schneider (abdominal strain) is on IR.

Blackwood, 21, was a second round pick (No.42 overall) in 2015 and has earned a call-up because Cory Schneider (lower-body) and Keith Kinkaid (groin) are both hurt. Blackwood, who has gone 5-12-0 with a 3.64 GAA and .877 SV% in 23 games with Binghamton, will backup Ken Appleby on Thursday.
