Final NHL rosters need to be set by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, and the Devils used Monday to begin preparing for their final cuts.
The Devils assigned six players Brett Seney, Nate Schnarr, Kevin Bahl, Reilly Walsh, Nikita Okhotyuk and Evan Cormier to the AHL.
Five players were placed on waivers. Any players who clear without being claimed by other NHL teams by noon on Tuesday will be eligible to be placed on the NHL taxi squad or sent the AHL.
