Evgenii Dadonov | 25-26 EXIT INTERVIEWS | New Jersey Devils Evgenii Dadonov speaks to the media at the end of the season.

APRIL 15 • NHL.COM

Pots first goal of season Dadonov scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The tally came in the final minute of the third period as Carolina took its foot off the gas. Dadonov had gone without a point in his first 19 games this season, and the 37-year-old even got placed on waivers early this month only to go unclaimed. The five-time 20-goal scorer in the NHL will try to salvage something down the stretch on what has been a lost campaign.

Activated from IR Dadonov (wrist) has been removed from injured reserve, according to the NHL Media site.

Impact Dadnov has had a tough go of things this season on the injury front, missing all but five games this year. His latest injury is behind him now, and the 36-year-old is set to re-join the lineup Sunday afternoon against the Jets. In five games, he was held pointless with a minus-1 rating, two hits and four blocked shots. Barring a lineup change from Saturday's practice, he will skate on the second line with Timo Meier and Dawson Mercer on Sunday.

Shifts to injured reserve Dadonov (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Dadonov's 2025-26 campaign has been plagued by injuries, as he missed 17 games with a hand injury suffered during the season opener versus the Hurricanes on Oct. 9. After just four games back in the lineup, the Russian winger then suffered the wrist injury that is expected to sideline him long term. Other than moving him to injured reserve, the Devils haven't provided an update on Dadonov, so fantasy managers should probably consider him out indefinitely for now.

Set for lengthy absence Dadonov (undisclosed) is expected to miss an extended period of time but is undergoing additional evaluation, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.

Impact Dadonov was just four games back from a long-term absence due to a hand injury that had cost him 17 games previously. The veteran winger is pointless in his five outings this year. Given his lack of offensive upside and injury concerns, Dadonov is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Doubtful for Wednesday Dadonov (undisclosed) likely won't be an option for Wednesday's game against St, Louis, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Dadonov is undergoing an evaluation after suffering an injury in Monday's 4-3 win over Detroit. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances this season while posting seven shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits. Based on Tuesday's practice, Juho Lammikko will replace Dadonov in Wednesday's lineup against the Blues.

Removed from LTIR Dadonov (hand) was activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Following a 17-game absence, Dadonov should return to the lineup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday despite being called a game-time decision. He hasn't played since New Jersey's season opener when he posted two shots on goal and two blocked shots in 9:32 of ice time against Carolina on Oct. 9. Dadonov had 20 goals and 40 points in 80 regular-season appearances last campaign.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Dadonov (hand) will be a game-time call ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Tampa Bay, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Dadonov has been out of the lineup since Opening Night versus the Hurricanes on Oct. 9, missing 17 games due to his hand injury. If the 36-year-old winger does slot in against the Bolts, it would likely come in a middle-six role while Shane Lachance would be dropped from the lineup. In order to play, Dadonov will first need to be activated off injured reserve.

Traveling with team Dadonov (hand) will join the Devils for their upcoming three-game road trip, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Monday.

Impact Dadonov has already missed the necessary number of games to be activated off long-term injured reserve. While the 36-year-old winger is joining the team on the road, it doesn't guarantee he will get into the lineup during the next three games. Still, it's a step in the right direction for Dadonov.
