New Jersey locked up their goaltending depth for the next two seasons as they signed Nico Daws to a two-year contract with the first year being a two-way and the second being a one-way. The 23-year-old netminder was drafted by New Jersey in the 3rd round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft (84th overall) and had a down season with his 9-11-0 record, 3.15 GAA and .894 SV% in 2023-24.
With the Devils' recent acquisitions of Kaapo Kahkonen and Jake Allen, Daws has become the odd-man out and has been reassigned to the Utica Comets (AHL). Daws struggled to be consistent between the pipes for the Devils this season, posting a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV% in 21 games (9-11-0).
The Devils, losers of three straight, will return to Daws between the pipes after unsuccessfully allowing Akira Schmid to prove himself in a 5-3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. Daws has showcased horrendous performances in his last two outings (0-2-0), allowing eight goals on his last 27 shots (.704 SV%). That said, the Devils enter action as -151 home favourites against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night.
Daws has been a high-volume netminder for the Devils lately and will return to the crease for the ninth time in the 10 games. He is riding a two-game winning streak and was excellent in his last outing, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%). The Devils enter action as sizeable -282 road favourites against an Anaheim Ducks club that defeated them 5-1 earlier this season.

Daws took a seat in the Devils' previous game as he backed up Akira Schmid in a loss but will make his eighth start in the last nine games on Tuesday. The 23-year-old has had an up-and-down second season in New Jersey but seems to be their starter for the time being, with his 7-8-0 record, 3.30 GAA and .895 SV%. He draws a favourable matchup on Tuesday in San Jose, who has lost three straight and is 31st in the NHL in goals per game (2.09).

Daws will get an immediate shot at redemption after his shot streak came to a sudden end in Washington on Tuesday. Daws allowed six goals on just 26 shots in the 6-2 defeat, ending a run of four straight starts where the the 23-year-old netminder posted a .931 SV% or better. Daws owns a 6-7-0 record in 13 starts on the season to go along with a .903 SV% and a 3.18 GAA. He draws a difficult assignment on Thursday at home against the Rangers, though New York could be without Artemi Panarin (lower-body).
The Devils will turn to Daws for the fifth-consecutive game when the team travels to Washington to take on the Capitals on Tuesday night. Daws has been outstanding since filling in for the injured Vitek Vanecek (lower-body), compiling a 3-1-0 record across his last four starts, posting a .942 SV% in the process. He turned in a fantastic performance in the outdoor game against the Flyers on Saturday, stopping 45 of the 48 shots he faced enroute to a 6-3 victory. Daws and the Devils look poised to stay in the win column on Tuesday as they find themselves as -165 favourites over the Capitals.
With Vitek Vanecek recovering from a lower-body injury, Daws was thrust into starting on back-to-back nights earlier this week and will start again on Thursday. Despite an up-and-down campaign, Daws played phenomenally with two games in 24 hours (2-0-0), saving 57 of 60 shots (.950 SV%). Daws will look to continue his hot hand as the Devils are -112 home favourites against a Los Angeles club that was defeated 7-0 by the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday and is 3-5-2 in their last 10 games.
With Vitek Vanecek sidelined due to an illness and a lower-body injury, the Devils will opt against giving Akira Schmid his first start since December 21st, instead turning to Nico Daws for the second time in as many nights. The 23-year-old German netminder was outstanding in last night's game against the Kraken, stopping 27 of the 28 shots he faced enroute to a 2-1 victory. He'll have to outduel Juuse Saros with a tired Devils team in front of him if Daws wants to pick up back-to-back victories on Tuesday.
Vitek Vanecek played the last four games for the Devils, and despite being outstanding in a 1-0 losing effort to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, the Devils will turn to Daws between the pipes. A rested Daws will hope to rebound after troubling performances in his last three outings (0-3-0), allowing 12 combined goals and posting an ugly .836 SV%. The Devils will attempt to snap a two-game losing streak (0-1-1) as -127 home favourites against a Seattle Kraken club that has been outscored 5-2 in their last two games (0-2-0).

Despite Vitek Vanecek winning his last two starts, including a roller-coaster 6-5 overtime win over the Vegas Golden Knights in the Devils' last game, the Devils will return to Daws between the pipes on Thursday night. Daws has dropped three straight games (0-3-0), including his worst performance of the season in his last outing, allowing six goals on 36 shots (.833 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars. The struggling Devils, losers of five of seven (2-4-1), are +140 road underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes club that played last night, defeating the Boston Bruins 3-2.
