Sergey Kalinin: Heading home to Russia
Kalinin signed a three-year contract with SKA Saint Petersburg of the KHL on Saturday, Igor Eronko of Russia's Sport-Express reports.
It's been quite the whirlwind for Kalinin in 2017. He was originally waived by the Devils last February, only to go unclaimed and shipped off to Toronto for defenseman Viktor Loov a day later. The undrafted center wouldn't end up suiting up for the Buds, and he'd posted just 19 points (10 goals, nine assists) in 121 career games for New Jersey. Perhaps a move to his native country will jump-start his career.

Maple Leafs' Sergey Kalinin: Traded to Leafs
The Devils traded Kalinin to the Maple Leafs on Saturday in exchange for defenseman Viktor Loov, The Record reports.
Kalinin barely had time to digest the fact that he cleared waivers for reassignment to AHL Albany before learning that he'd been dealt. Still, even though the winger is moving to a different organization, his status as an organizational depth player is not likely to change. As a result, look for him to report to AHL Toronto now.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Sent to waiver wire
Kalinin was waived by the Devils on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada reports.
The Devils activated Beau Bennett (lower body) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's loss to the Senators, yet they still have 13 healthy forwards even after cutting ties with Kalinin. The second-year winger has been a liability defensively, posting a minus-14 rating through 43 NHL games. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll report to AHL Albany.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: No longer injured, healthy scratch Sunday
Kalinin (undisclosed) is available for Sunday's contest in Vancouver but will be a healthy scratch, Andrew Gross of the Record reports.
Even when healthy, Kalinin isn't exactly useful to the lineup, fantasy or otherwise, as evidenced here. He'll draw into the lineup again soon, but he's not likely to see much more than the 12:56 of ice time he's been averaging this season.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Won't play Friday
Kalinin won't suit up for Friday's road game versus the Flames after he was injured blocking a shot against the Oilers on Thursday night, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
It's unclear right now where exactly Kalinin's injury is located, but hopefully the team will provide some more information if the injury turns out to be more serious. The Russian forward is riding a five-game pointless drought and has a minus-3 rating over that span, so most fantasy owners likely won't be missing him in their lineups Friday.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Notches two third-period points
Kalinin scored a goal and added an assist during the third period of Monday's win over Boston.
Kalinin doubled his point total with the two-point night, which highlights his lack of fantasy appeal. The 25-year-old forward will need to string together a few more scoresheet appearances before he's worth utilizing in any fantasy setting.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Back in lineup Tuesday
Kalinin (illness) will slot back into the depth chart against Vancouver on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
Kalinin has missed a total of seven contests this year with various ailments, but appears to be ready to go. Even when healthy, the winger has earned a paltry one helper this season with a minus-6 ratings and 17 shots on goal. It would take a significant shift in production for the 25-year-old to start producing at a fantasy relevant level moving forward.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Out against Blackhawks
Kalinin will miss Thursday's matchup against Chicago due to illness, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
Kalinin is certainly feeling the sophomore slump, as he's tallied a lone assist and a minus-5 rating through 17 outings. Even once he 's healthy enough to return, he holds minimal fantasy appeal.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Will return Saturday
Kalinin will slot back into the lineup against the Wild on Saturday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
Kalinin has been sidelined since the start of the season, but will be removed from injured reserve prior to puck drop Saturday. The 25-year-old played in 78 games during his rookie campaign and will be looking to improve upon his 15-point tally from last year. The winger figures to start on the Devils' fourth line, but could certainly work his way up the depth chart once he gets his legs back under him.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Expected to make season debut Saturday
While Kalinen (illness) remains on injured reserve, it's expected that he will be in the lineup Saturday for a home game against the Wild, The Record reports.
Kalinen should reprise his role as a bottom-six winger upon returning. The Russian will look to assert himself offensively as a young skater -- he's 25 years old -- on a team chock full of veterans. As a rookie last season, he posted only 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in 78 games.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Out fourth game in a row with illness
Kalinin (illness) is out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Bruins, Matt Kalman of NHL.com reports.
Kalinin continues to battle an immunological ailment and will be held out of his fourth straight game as a result. The 25-year-old Russian is coming off his first season in the NHL after spending six campaigns in the KHL. Kalinin has never been one to rack up large point totals, but once healthy, he could earn his way into a bigger role this season after averaging just 13:20 of ice time in 2015-16.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Out for Monday's contest
Kalinin (illness) will not return to the lineup when first eligible, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
Coach John Hynes indicated Monday that Kalinin will need to get a couple practices under his belt before he would be considered as an option for the lineup. The 25-year-old winger will now aim to rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Bruins, but will need to make some progress in practice. Even when healthy, Kalinin doesn't provide a ton of offense (just 15 points in 78 games last season), leaving him most valuable in leagues that include hits.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Placed on IR retroactive
Kalinin (illness) has been placed on IR, retroactive to Oct. 10.
Kalinin will be eligible to return to the team next Monday after he sits out for seven days. The second-year man is dealing with an illness and will miss at least the first two games of the season. With Kalinin out, expect Beau Bennett to see increased minutes.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Under the weather
Kalinin was not available to skate Tuesday as he's dealing with an illness, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
Kalinin is known as a two-way winger who likes to fight for loose pucks along the boards. He signed a one-year deal with the Devils this past summer, and projects to play in the bottom six, at least to start the 2016-17 campaign. If his illness prevents him from suiting up in the season opener Thursday, then Beau Bennett could see more minutes.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Signs one-year deal with Devils
Kalinin inked a one-year contract with New Jersey on Wednesday worth $800,000.
Kalinin put up decent numbers for a rookie this past season: eight goals, seven assists, and 33 PIM. Fantasy owners may want to wait for a larger sample size before shoving all in on the 25-year-old, but he could be a player to watch for in dynasty and keeper leagues.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Playing Tuesday
Kalinin (illness) took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll play Tuesday against the Sabres, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.
Kalinin will slot into a bottom-six role Tuesday against Buffalo, centering Blake Pietila and Stephen Gionta on the Devils' fourth line.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Skips Monday's practice
Kalinin did not practice Monday due to an illness and is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Sabres, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.
Kalinin doesn't produce enough for the Devils to be considered in most season-long fantasy leagues, but his presence on the man advantage keeps him relevant as a cheaper daily option. Those looking at him for Tuesday should check back again on game day for an updated status. If he can't go, either Bobby Farnham or Tuomo Ruutu would likely draw into the lineup in his place.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Performs Gordie Howe hat trick
Kalinin stuffed the stat sheet with a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating and five for fighting in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Anyone who saw this particular Gordie Howe hat trick coming should play the lottery this week -- Kalinin hadn't recorded a point since Jan. 19 and hadn't scored a goal in two months, dating back to Dec. 22. While it's good of him to chip in, games like this one are obviously a blessed rarity for the Russian rookie, who serves almost exclusively in a checking role.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Called up Wednesday
Kalinin was called up from AHL Albany on Wednesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
Kalinin wasn't a big scorer in the KHL, but his numbers for the Devils have certainly been underwhelming -- just five goals and nine points with a minus-7 rating in 46 games. With the team wanting to keep other young players active through the All-Star break, Kalinin was called up to make room on the AHL roster.

Devils' Sergey Kalinin: Reassigned to AHL on Tuesday
Kalinin was sent to AHL Albany on Tuesday to help the Devils with defensive depth.
Kalinin has made a minimal impact since joining New Jersey from the KHL in the offseason. While it can certainly take players a while to adjust to the NHL game, the Devils will have expected more than just nine points in 46 games from the 24-year-old. The winger was exchanged for defenseman Marc-Andre Gradnani to help with their banged up blue line.
