Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Ready for 2024-25
Dougie Hamilton has fully recovered from his pectoral injury, Amanda Stein of the New Jersey Devils' official site reports Wednesday.Hamilton didn't play past Nov. 28 because of the injury. He underwent surgery for a torn pectoral muscle Dec. 1 and was placed on long-term injured reserve Jan. 25. Having Hamilton healthy for the 2024-25 campaign will give the Devils a big boost. He excelled in 2022-23 with 22 goals and 74 points in 82 regular-season contests and recorded at least 30 points in nine consecutive campaigns before being limited to 20 contests in 2024-25. If not for the injury, he would have almost certainly extended the streak -- he already had five goals and 16 points last season before getting hurt.

Devils' Dougie Hamilton: May not return for regular season
Dougie Hamilton (pectoral) is in danger of missing the rest of the regular season, with general manager Tom Fitzgerald telling reporters Tuesday, "It's long-term with Dougie. Will he play by the end of the season? Right now I don't know," per Amanda Stein of the New Jersey Devils' official site.Hamilton has been out of action since Nov. 28 against the Islanders, a stretch of 41 games on long-term injured reserve. The 30-year-old blueliner was putting together a strong offensive campaign prior to getting hurt, racking up 16 points in 20 games for the Devils. At this point, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to play much even if he does return during the regular season.

Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Placed on long-term injured reserve
Dougie Hamilton (pectoral) was moved from injured reserve to long-term injured reserve Thursday, James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now reports.This move can be made retroactive to Nov. 28, and Hamilton isn't expected to return until March at the earliest, so this doesn't impact his timetable. However, it does give the New Jersey Devils considerable cap maneuverability for the duration of Hamilton's time on LTIR. The 30-year-old defenseman, who comes with a $9 million cap hit, has five goals and 16 points in 20 contests in 2023-24.
