Earlier today, the New Jersey Devils announced a few roster transactions<\/a>, recalling three players from the Utica Comets, their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. Forward Lenni Hameenaho<\/a> and defensemen Dennis Cholowski<\/a> and Colton White<\/a> were called up, while goaltender Jakub Malek was brought in as a practice goaltender, based on NHL Olympic regulations in place.<\/p>\n

Hameenaho has played a handful of games with the Devils, starting with a brief stint in mid-January. He\u2019s earned four points in nine games so far on two goals and two assists. Likewise, he\u2019s been solid in the AHL, with 22 points across 34 games.<\/p>\n

The last time Cholowski played in an NHL game was mid-December, and he\u2019s played just 15 games with the Devils this season. Within that time frame, he tallied one assist before clearing waivers last month and being assigned to the AHL.<\/p>\n

White has a bit more experience in the NHL as a result of the injuries that have plagued the Devils\u2019 blue line all season long. He\u2019s been a solid depth defenseman with four points, landing 23 hits and blocking 16 shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Malek remains an important goaltending prospect. He has yet to see NHL ice but has a 7-10-1 record and an .894 save percentage (SV%) with the Comets. As of right now, he\u2019s filling in during practice, while the Devils\u2019 starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom<\/a> remains with Team Sweden in the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Today (Feb. 18) marked the first Devils\u2019 practice since the start of the Olympic break. Fans and players alike have been enjoying a brief reprieve from Devils\u2019 hockey, but now the team is looking to get back on track, facing the Buffalo Sabres at home on Feb. 25.<\/p>\n
