Siegenthaler has been sidelined with a concussion since March 11th. He'll draw back into the Devils' lineup as they continue to make a push for an unlikely postseason bid. The Devils did not confirm who will come out to make room for Siegenthaler, who has nine points (1G / 8A) in 49 games this season.
Siegenthaler exited Monday's 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers after playing only 11:24 time-on-ice. The 26-year-old defenseman appeared in 11 straight games after returning from a multi-week absence due to a foot injury earlier this season. He has nine points (1G / 8A), 68 hits, and 79 blocks in 49 games this season.
Siegenthaler suffered the injury in the second period when he was struck by an elbow from the Rangers' Matt Rempe. Rempe was assessed a five minute major for elbowing and a game misconduct on the play. The Devils are yet to provide an update on the injury to Siegenthaler.
Siegenthaler has been out of the lineup for over a month due to a broken foot but appears ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday. The 26-year-old defender has eight points (1G / 7A) in 38 games this season and will be a welcome addition to a Devils squad that has had an injury-depleted defensive core lately, most notably with Dougie Hamilton on LTIR.

Siegenthaler has been placed on IR, prompting the Devils to recall Cal Foote from the Utica Comets of the AHL. Siegenthaler played only 9:34 time-on-ice before exiting the last game and joins a concerningly large list of noteworthy Devils players that are injured, including Jack Hughes, Timo Meier, Ondrej Palat, and fellow defenseman Dougie Hamilton.
Siegenthaler broke his hand in Thursday's loss to the Canadiens and will miss the rest of the regular season. Siegenthaler finishes the season with 14 points (1G / 13A, a minus-5 rating and 42 PIMS in 70 games.
The Devils are anticipating moving a few defenseman ahead of Monday's trade deadline, so Siegenthaler gives them and NHL body to replace anybody they ship out. After appearing in 64 games with the Capitals last year, he has only suited up in seven in 2021, failing to record a point. The 23-year-old is good friend with fellow Swiss native and New Jersey Devil Nico Hischier.
