The New Jersey Devils have announced that top prospect Simon Nemec and goaltender Nico Daws have been reassigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Utica Comets.

Nemec, 20, was recalled by the Devils on Feb. 6, but he is now heading back to Utica. In 11 games this season with the Devils, the 2022 second-overall pick has one assist to go along with a minus-1 rating.
Nemec has also played in 32 games this season with the Comets, posting five goals, 22 points, and a plus-9 rating.
Daws, 24, was called up to the Devils' roster earlier this month. In two appearances with the Devils during his latest call-up, he had a 1-0-0 record, a .941 save percentage, and a 1.44 goals-against average. This included stopping 25 out of 27 shots against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 4.
With the 4 Nations Face-Off break here, it makes sense that Nemec and Daws are heading back to Utica.
