The Devils <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/devils\/news\/lammikko-white-placed-on-waivers-transactions-1-16-26\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">announced<\/a> that they\u2019ve placed forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lammiju01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-16_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Juho Lammikko<\/a> and defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/whiteco03.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-16_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Colton White<\/a> on waivers.<\/p>\n<p>Lammikko, 29, is in his first year with the Devils after spending the last three years overseas with the NL\u2019s ZSC Lions. He was very productive while in Switzerland, scoring 48 goals and 112 points in 144 games with a +60 rating. He signed a one-year, $800K contract with New Jersey last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Despite making the team\u2019s opening night roster, Lammikko had to wait until late October to debut due to a lower-body injury. Largely in a bottom-six role, Lammikko has appeared in 22 games for the Devils this season, registering two assists and a -4 rating while averaging 10:10 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, unlike Lammikko, White did not immediately make the Devils\u2019 roster this year. Still, due to multiple injuries sustained by New Jersey\u2019s defensive core, White was recalled in early November and has been with the team ever since.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old defenseman has appeared in 23 games for the Devils this season (his second stint with the club), registering four assists and a +2 rating while averaging 12:15 of ice time. He\u2019s been a quality player on the defensive side of the puck, averaging a 93.1% on-ice SV% at even strength.<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey did not immediately clarify if either player would be demoted to the AHL\u2019s Utica Comets should they clear, though it\u2019s largely expected. Still, the Devils could simply be looking for additional roster flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming both Lammikko and White clear waivers and are reassigned tomorrow afternoon, New Jersey\u2019s active roster would be reduced to 21 players. It\u2019s more than likely the team will make additional recalls then, particularly to their forward core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New Jersey Devils are attempting to jettison a few depth options from their roster.
