Seamus Casey is on the Devils’ 23-man roster. The 20-year-old defenseman has continually impressed — making his NHL debut in the Global Series and scoring his first-career NHL goal. As a result, he’s forced the Devils to keep him around.

The Devils surprisingly waived Nick DeSimone on Sunday with the intention of reassigning him to the Utica Comets.
