McLaughlin (undisclosed) landed on injured reserve Monday.
McLaughlin was injured in exhibition play against the Islanders on Sept. 26, and he missed the remainder of training camp as a result. The 26-year-old appeared in just two regular-season outings with the Devils last year, logging an assist, after being dealt from the Bruins in March. He had two goals and three points over 14 regular-season games between both clubs in 2024-25.
