The Devils announced today that they've recalled forward Chase De Leo from the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League.
The Comets are on fire, with a 13-0-0 start to their season -- an all-time AHL record. Despite only playing in eight of those 13 games, De Leo leads the Comets in scoring with 14 points (2 goals, 12 assists).
The 25-year-old De Leo has played in five career NHL games, two with the Winnipeg Jets and three with the Anaheim Ducks. He is still looking for his first career NHL point. De Leo will wear number 47 for the Devils.
Alexander Holtz played six games for the Devils during his first career NHL call-up and had two assists. He had five goals in four games with the Comets and now rejoins the club.
