McLeod has 19 points (10G / 9A) in 45 games and was pacing for the best offensive output of his career. He will be away from the Devils' team indefinitely on a leave of absence.

McLeod had four goals, 22 assists, 90 SOG, 43 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 80 games played with New Jersey in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year contract extension worth $1.4 million. The 25-year-old centre was New Jersey's first-round pick in 2016 (12th overall) and has produced 19 goals and 66 points across 242 career NHL games played.

McLeod missed the Devils' last two games of the season due to an undisclosed injury but is available and expected to return for Game 1 vs. the New York Rangers Tuesday. The 25-year-old closed out his 2022-23 regular season with four goals, 22 assists, 90 SOG and 43 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 80 games.

McLeod has four goals, 22 assists, 90 SOG, 43 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 80 games played this season but will miss Tuesday's contest vs. Buffalo due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old is missing his first game of the season Tuesday.

McLeod did not play Sunday against the Islanders but is expected to replace Nathan Bastian in the lineup on Tuesday. McLeod went pointless in 14 games in the month of March and has just one assist in his last 20 games.

McLeod was the No.12 overall pick in 2016 and impressed in his first full NHL season in 2021. The 23-year-old centre scored nine goals with six assists (15 points) in 52 games. Combined with Miles Wood, the duo formed a strong bottom-6 line for the Devils and he will be a regular for them in that role again in 2021-22.

McLeod will be replaced by John Hayden, who will play for the first time in 11 games.

McLeod is on a similar pace to last year, having registered 13 points (4G / 9A) in 24 AHL games. The 21-year-old takes Nico Hischier's spot on the roster and could make his season debut in Dallas on Tuesday. He has just three assists in 21 career NHL games since being drafted No.12 overall in 2016.

McLeod was a first-round pick in 2016 (No.12 overall) and will skate on the Devils fourth line on Friday. The 20-year-old is a great skater, who had 44 points (16G / 28A) in 38 games with Mississauga (OHL) last year and has picked up 10 points (3G / 7A) in 21 AHL contests this season. He replaces Stefan Noesen in the lineup.

McLeod, 20, was the No.12 overall pick in 2016. The 6-foot-2, 188 lbs centre has not had a great season, picking up just 10 points (3G / 7A) in 21 AHL games but it was enough to earn him a call-up.
