Fraser spent all of 2015-16 in the AHL with Binghamton, where he had two goals, five assists and 136 PIMS in 60 games. He has 219 games of NHL experience with the Devils, Maple Leafs and Oilers. He returns to Edmonton, where he had one goal in 23 games back in 2013-14.
Fraser has served as a healthy scratch in the last seven games, but will play tonight vs. Boston. Fraser has registered two assists and 26 PIMS in 14 games with the Devils this season.
Fraser is expected to make his Devils season debut tonight because Eric Gelinas is out with an illness and Peter Harrold is out with a face injury.

Fraser has been a healthy scratch in Toronto for the last 12 games. After the Maple Leafs traded for Tim Gleason, Fraser became expendable. He was likely a candidate to be placed on waivers once Dave Bolland was healthy, this trade allows them to not have to make a roster move and gives them some extra cap-space. Fraser is a physical D-man who has one assist and a minus-8 rating in 19 games this season.
Fraser missed the last two games after injuring his MCL last Saturday. If he returns tonight, Morgan Rielly will come out of the lineup.
