Siegenthaler will miss the remainder of the regular season with a lower-body injury.
Siegenthaler has been out since February 4th due to a lower-body injury and underwent a procedure during the Four Nations break. The 27-year-old Swiss defender had been enjoying a decent 2024-25 campaign before his injury with two goals, nine points, 44 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus.
Hamilton (lower-body) is expected to be out for an extended period.
Hamilton was limited to only 5:15 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, exiting the contest in the first period due to a lower-body injury. Hamilton has 40 points (9G / 31A) in 63 games, including 15 points on the powerplay. Luke Hughes will likely take Hamilton's spot on New Jersey's top powerplay unit.
The Devils have acquired Marc McLaughlin from the Bruins for Daniil Misyul.
McLaughlin is an undrafted 25-year-old forward with 25 games of NHL experience, including a career-high 12 contests with Boston this season. He has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, tallying 14 points (5G / 9A) in 34 contests with the Providence Bruins (AHL).
The Devils have acquired Cody Glass and Jonathan Gruden from the Penguins for Chase Stillman, Max Graham, and a 2027 3rd Round Pick.
Glass was the sixth-overall pick of the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. The 25-year-old has played 238 career games, including scoring 15 points (4G / 11A) in 51 games with the Penguins this season.

Bjugstad (upper-body) was placed on injured reserve on Thursday.
Bjugstad was originally said to be missing from practice due to an illness, so it's unclear whether or not this is actually a new injury. The team added he is considered day-to-day, so he is not expected to be out long-term.
Hamilton (lower-body) is out on Friday vs. Winnipeg and is still being evaluated.
Hamilton was limited to only 5:15 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, exiting the contest in the first period due to a lower-body injury. Hamilton has 40 points (9G / 31A) in 63 games, including 15 points on the powerplay. After Hamilton left the game on Tuesday, Luke Hughes occupied his spot on New Jersey's top powerplay unit.
Hughes underwent shoulder surgery on Wednesday and will be placed on LTIR.
The Devils received terrible news on Wednesday, announcing that Hughes will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The 23-year-old Hughes suffered the injury on Sunday after an awkward collision with Jack Hughes that sent him into the boards. Hughes ends the season with 70 points (27G / 43A) in 62 games and is expected to make a full recovery before training camp for next season.
Tufte has been recalled from Providence (AHL).
Tufte has played five games with Boston this season, scoring zero points, but has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL. The 26-year-old forward has 31 points (18G / 13A) in 42 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL) this season.
Hamilton was without an update on his lower-body injury after leaving Tuesday's game vs. Dallas early.
Hamilton was limited to only 5:15 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, exiting the contest in the first period due to a lower-body injury. With Jack Hughes already sidelined due to an injury, the Devils can ill afford to lose the services of their top defenseman. Hamilton has 40 points (9G / 31A) in 63 games, including 15 points on the powerplay. After Hamilton left the game on Tuesday, Luke Hughes occupied his spot on New Jersey's top powerplay unit.
