Alexander Holtz and Simon Nemec skated with the varsity squad this afternoon. Other bubble roster players such as Tyce Thompson and Nolan Foote skated with what appears to be the minor league squad.
The Devils have two preseason games remaining on Wednesday and Friday to determine what their 2023-24 NHL roster is going to look like.
Heading to Utica, Stillman and Misyul will take part in their first AHL seasons in 2023-24. Clarke was the Comets’ leading scorer in the 2022-23 season. He’ll continue his development in Utica for a chance at an NHL call-up later in the season.
