Returns to lineup Thursday Nemec will return to the lineup Thursday in Pittsburgh, after missing 12 games with a lower-body injury, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

Impact Nemec has taken his game to a new level in 2025-26, tallying seven goals and adding 11 assists in 31 games before the injury. The second-overall pick in 2022, Nemec will likely be eased back into the lineup at this time.

Placed on IR Nemec was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Nemec has missed back-to-back games as a result of his lower-body injury, and he'll now be forced to miss at least one more. Dougie Hamilton will continue to see the biggest uptick in ice time due to Nemec's absence, as the former has received more work than his usual allotment on the right side of New Jersey's blue line in the last two contests. With Nemec's placement on injured reserve freeing up a roster spot, Nathan Legare was recalled from AHL Utica on Tuesday.

Set to miss time Nemec (undisclosed) sustained an injury during Friday's practice and will miss some time, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Saturday.

Impact Nemec's injury is not day-to-day, but a timeline for his return is unclear. He has seven goals, 18 points, 50 shots on net and 46 blocked shots through 31 appearances this season. Dennis Cholowski will replace Nemec in Saturday's lineup against Anaheim.

Picks up pair of helpers Nemec notched two assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Nemec is heating up again with three points over his last two games. The 21-year-old blueliner has contributed decent offense regardless of his spot in the lineup this season, and he's bounced around semi-frequently. For the year, he's up to seven goals, 11 helpers, 50 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 31 outings. He needs two more points to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his three-year career.

Lights lamp in win Nemec scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Nemec scored at 5:09 of the first period to tie the game at 1-1. The 21-year-old defenseman had gone four contests without a point prior to Tuesday. He's on the third pairing at even strength, which could lead to some inconsistent offense, but he still has a sizeable power-play role. For the season, Nemec is at seven goals, 16 points, 47 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 30 appearances.

Mixed results Saturday Nemec scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went minus-4 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Nemec continues to show growth on offense -- he's earned two goals and an assist over his last five contests. The 21-year-old is seeing top-four minutes, but Saturday's performance was a bumpy one for him after a November that saw him post a minus rating in just two of 14 contests. He's up to six goals, 15 points, 38 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances this season. Nemec will have a career year on offense with five more points, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him achieve that before the midpoint of the campaign.

Pots game-winning goal in OT Nemec scored the game-winning goal, placed two shots on net and dished out two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over St. Louis.

Impact Nemec found the back of the net less than three minutes into overtime to send New Jersey home with the team's second straight win. With the twine finder, the 21-year-old blueliner has five goals, 14 points, 34 shots on goal and 35 blocks through 23 games this season. The No. 2 overall selection from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft has stepped up offensively this season and is well on his way to a career year. With Dougie Hamilton having experienced a lower-body injury earlier in November, Nemec has been neck-and-neck with Luke Hughes for the most points from New Jersey's blueline. Regardless of what line inside the team's top four he's played on, Nemec is a solid waiver-wire pickup in a majority of fantasy formats with his hot start to the year offensively.
