In a corresponding move, the Devils recalled defenseman Daniil Misyul from the minors to take Casey's spot on the roster. The 20-year-old Casey has three goals, one assist, six shots on net, seven blocked shots and four hits in eight appearances with New Jersey this season.

Casey scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 3-0 win over Utah.
