Legare was recalled from AHL Utica on Monday.
Legare hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he'll rejoin the Devils on Monday after being sent to the AHL ahead of the regular season. He's made 18 appearances for Utica this year, tallying three goals and a minus-3 rating. The 23-year-old will provide depth for New Jersey, but it seems unlikely that he'll play a significant role during his time in the NHL.

Rotowire
Legare was waived by the Devils on Friday with the intention to loan him to AHL Utica.
Legare signed a two-way deal with the Devils in early May but was unable to make the team's Opening Night roster. He'll likely be forced to spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Devils' Nathan Legare: Signs two-way deal
Rotowire
Legare signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils on Tuesday.
Legare spent the whole season in the AHL in 2023-24, logging eight goals and four assists in 54 games played. Look for the 23-year-old to once again spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Devils' Nathan Legare: Traded again
Rotowire
Legare was traded to the Devils from the Canadiens on Monday in a minor-league deal for Arnaud Durandeau.
Montreal previously acquired Legare before the start of the season as part of the massive, three-team trade that sent Erik Karlsson to Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old Legare hasn't been particularly productive this season with a mere nine points in 39 games for AHL Laval. Legare will likely have to wait until next season in order to make his NHL debut.

Canadiens' Nathan Legare: Obtained by Habs
Rotowire
Legare was dealt to Montreal on Sunday as part of three-team trade with Pittsburgh and San Jose.
Legare, Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith and a 2025 second-round pick were sent to the Canadiens from Pittsburgh in the trade. Former Montreal forwards Mike Hoffman and Rem Pitlick ended up in San Jose and Pittsburgh, respectively, as part of the deal that sent Erik Karlsson to the Penguins. Legare produced eight goals, 19 points and 76 PIM in 68 AHL games last season. The 22-year-old winger will probably start the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.
