Back with big club Per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site, Willman is practicing with the Devils on Tuesday, indicating he's been recalled by the team.

Impact The Devils are dealing with injuries to several key forwards at the moment, so Willman will likely stick with the big club for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, even if he doesn't get into the lineup versus the Lightning.

If Willman does draw into the lineup for New Jersey, it will likely be as a part of the bottom six.

Lights lamp in season debut Willman scored his first goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 win over Chicago.

Impact Called up from AHL Utica on Saturday, Willman wasted no time in making an impact, stealing the puck from Kevin Korchinski at the Devils' blue line in the first period for a breakaway and then going five-hole on Arvid Soderblom. With New Jersey down its two top centers in Jack Hughes (upper body) and Nico Hischier (upper body) there are opportunities in the short term for other players, and the 28-year-old Willman -- who had four goals and seven points in seven games this season for Utica -- could push his way into a top-six role if he keeps producing.
