New Jersey Devils Reassign Colton White

Colton White s time with the New Jersey Devils is on pause after 10 days on the active roster.

The organization announced the reassignment of White to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets.

New Jersey also added that White will join Team Canada for the upcoming Spengler Cup instead of joining the Comets roster.

The 2024-25 season is his eighth professional season and his sixth with the Devils organization.

New Jersey drafted White with the 97th overall pick of the 2015 NHL Draft and hes been with the organization since aside from two years with the Anaheim Ducks organization.

Most of Whites value centers around his physicality.

Hes tallied 10 assists in 84 games at the NHL level since the 2018-19 season with 57 blocked shots and 65 hits.

Hes understandably scored more at the AHL level with 17 goals and 78 points in 274 games but has a dismal -69 rating throughout his career.

His inclusion on Team Canadas roster for this years Spengler Cup will be the first international competition of Whites career.

Hell assist the Canadians in pursuing their first Spengler Cup victory since the 2019 tournament.

The tournament will take place from December 26th to December 31st in Davos, Switzerland.

The Devils will likely make a corresponding roster move on defense after the Christmas break.

They have one more game tomorrow night against the New York Rangers but will want more than six healthy defensemen on the active roster by the weekend.
