Daws started his 2021-22 season by stopping 25 of 27 shots in a win in his AHL debut. The 2020 third-round selection spent last season in Germany, where he was 4-6-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .897 SV%. There's no indication why Daws was called up because now the Devils have three goalies on the active roster.

Hughes fell awkwardly after absorbing a hit in Tuesday's win over the Kraken.

Bernier stopped 24 of 27 shots in the Devils win over the Blackhawks in their season opener. With Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) still out, Bernier will start his second straight game on Tuesday.

Hardman had one goal and two assists (three points) in eight games with the Blackhawks last season. He opened the AHL season with two assists in two games. After being called up this morning, Hardman was skating on the third line with Henrik Borgstrom and Alex DeBrincat, so look for him to play on Tuesday.
