Siegenthaler Injury Leads To Opportunity For Devils Top Prospect
Ahead of Thursday's morning skate, the New Jersey Devils announced that the 20-year-old has joined the team. He replaces Jonas Siegenthaler, who sustained an injury in the club's last game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Nemec is coming off an appearance at the 2025 AHL All-Star Classic, where he replaced injured teammate Seamus Casey. Through 32 games in the American Hockey League with the Utica Comets, the 2022 second-overall pick has 22 points (five goals, 17 assists). He is riding a three-game assist streak dating back to Jan. 29.
Tonight would mark Nemec's 10th game of the 2024-25 season and first since Oct. 22, 2024, when he picked up a secondary assist on a Timo Meier power play goal. It was his lone NHL point this season.

Dougie Hamilton Builds Lasting Bonds Through 'Dougie's Buddies'
The New Jersey Devils shared a heartwarming story about defenseman Dougie Hamilton's friendship with a young cancer survivor named Alex. Alex, who fought and beat cancer in 2022, calls Dougie 'his buddy.' From their first meeting during Alex's treatment to checking in on his hockey progress today, Hamilton has made a point to stay connected. Hamilton first met Alex during his battle and later followed up with a phone call to check in and offer encouragement. It's just one example of the veteran defender's dedication to giving back off the ice. Now entering his fifth year of a seven-year, $63 million contract with the Devils, Hamilton has become a leader both on and off the ice, mentoring teammates and anchoring the blue line, while also making time to impact the local community. Dougie's Buddies Program Hamilton's commitment extends through his personal initiative, Dougie's Buddies, a program launched in partnership with RWJBarnabas Health. According to the team's website, the program offers local youth nominated by community partners an unforgettable Devils experience. Each participant receives tickets to a Devils game, high-five tunnel access, a Dougie's Buddies t-shirt, recognition on the videoboard, and a post-game meet-and-greet with Hamilton himself. 'At RWJBarnabas Health, we believe in the power of community partnerships to inspire and uplift our youth,' said Justin Edelman, Senior Vice President of External Communications & Corporate Partnerships at RWJBarnabas Health. 'Dougie's Buddies is such a meaningful initiative that helps lift the spirits of pediatric patients, Learn to Play participants, and their families. It's truly rewarding to see Dougie Hamilton fully embrace his connection to the community through this program.' Hamilton's Perspective For Hamilton, the experience is just as rewarding: 'It's such a great experience for me,' Hamilton shared with 'You really don't know what to expect each time. They're always different ages of kids and the families are all different. This season we had Learn to Play youth, kids that were just starting out in hockey, but also kids going through some really tough times. I just really enjoy giving these kids a special moment in their day.' Looking Ahead Hamilton and the Devils open the 2025–26 season on October 9th in Carolina, before their home opener on October 16th against the defending champion Florida Panthers.
