With Vitek Vanecek battling an illness and lower-body injury, the Devils have recalled Akira Schmid from the Utica Comets of the AHL. Schmid started the season with the Devils but was demoted to the AHL after a poor start. The 23-year-old Schmid has struggled at the AHL level as well this season, posting a 3.58 GAA and .885 SV% in 12 games (3-5-4).
