Nico Daws - NHL News & Rumors

Get starting nod versus Ducks Daws will tend the twine at home against Anaheim on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Daws stopped 18 of 19 shots in his previous outings -- a 7-1 victory over the Rangers on Oct. 15. While the 25-year-old backstop could be seeing a few extra starts given his recent performances, he is unlikely to completely unseat Jake Allen from the No. 1 role in New Jersey.

First win of season Daws made 18 saves in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact It was his first win of the season. Daws is part of the Devils' three-headed netminding monster, along with Jake Allen and Remi Poirier. Daws has potential -- he's big and calm, and is good at swallowing rebounds. But his post-to-post speed is a challenge in the high-speed NHL environment. Daws is currently 1-2-0 with a 3.38 GAA and .857 save percentage in three starts.

Tending twine Thursday Daws will patrol the home crease in Thursday's matchup against the Rangers, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

Impact Daws will get his second opportunity between the pipes over New Jersey's last three contests after he displayed vast improvement in his most recent outing. Despite being kept out of the win column for the second straight game, he cut the number of goals he allowed in half from six to three. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder has an 0-2-0 record, a 4.58 GAA and an .824 save percentage across two appearances. He'll look to get back on track in a moderately-tough matchup with the Rangers, who rank 12th in the NHL at 3.38 goals per game. Daws is best left on waivers in fantasy until he can secure his first win of the 2026-27 season.

Allows three goals in defeat Daws stopped 16 of 19 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Senators. Ottawa's fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Daws allowed two goals in the second period before giving up another one in the third. The Devils struggled to generate offensive support, leaving their goaltender with little margin for error. Daws has dropped his two starts this season, allowing nine goals on 41 shots faced. He should remain as the No. 2 goaltender behind Jake Allen.

First goalie off Monday Daws was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes versus the Senators.

Impact Daws will look to bounce back from a disappointing first outing this year in which he gave up six goals on 32 shots in a loss to the Islanders. With the 25-year-old Daws getting the nod Monday, fantasy managers can expect starter Jake Allen to feature on the road versus the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Beaten six times Saturday Daws stopped 26 of 32 shots in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Daws kept the game scoreless through the first period but couldn't hold on the rest of the way, allowing three goals in each of the subsequent two frames -- including a power-play goal in the second period and a shorthanded goal in the third. Saturday was Daws' first start of the season after Jake Allen handled New Jersey's opener against Philadelphia, and while one game isn't enough to draw meaningful conclusions, it wouldn't be surprising if he stays as the Devils' No. 2 goaltender behind Allen for the foreseeable future.

Defending crease Saturday Daws will guard the road goal against the Islanders on Saturday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Daws went 2-1-0 and allowed eight goals on 87 shots in three NHL appearances for New Jersey during the 2025-26 regular season. The Islanders will play in their home opener following a 2-1 road loss to Toronto on Wednesday.

Takes shootout loss Daws allowed three goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 4-3 preseason shootout loss to the Rangers.

Impact Daws went the distance in his first art of the preseason. The 25-year-old squandered a 2-0 lead in the third period and gave up the lone tally in the shootout. It's unclear if he'll get another audition this preseason -- the Devils play the Islanders on Saturday. Daws entered camp competing with David Rittich for the backup job, but the former didn't make a great impression in Thursday's contest. If the Devils don't want to carry three goalies, Daws will need to clear waivers to join AHL Utica.

Set to start Thursday Daws is slated to start Thursday's road preseason game against the Rangers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Daws rejoined the Devils on a two-year, $2.2 million contract in July, and he's slated to make his preseason debut and play the full game during New Jersey's penultimate exhibition matchup. The 25-year-old has made just nine regular-season appearances for the Devils across the past two years, going 5-2-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .925 save percentage. The Devils traded Jacob Markstrom to Florida during the offseason, so Daws could compete with Jake Allen and David Rittich if he makes a strong impression during Thursday's start.

Sent down to minors Daws was reassigned to AHL Utica on Wednesday.

Impact Daws played in just three games for the Devils this season, posting a 2-1-0 record, 2.62 GAA and .908 save percentage. With both Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen still under contract next year, Daws' path to significant NHL opportunities seems blocked, though perhaps he can force his way into the conversation during training camp.
