New Jersey Devils goaltender Nico Daws is staying put, as he has officially cleared waivers.
Daws stood out as a potential goaltender who could get claimed off waivers. Yet, thankfully for the Devils, the 24-year-old will be staying put and can now be sent down to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets.
