Casey is not listed on the Devils' roster, indicating he was reassigned to AHL Utica on Friday, per the NHL media site. It's unclear if this is a paper move. Casey's demotion leaves the Devils with just six healthy blueliners -- Jonas Siegenthaler (lower body) is out for the rest of the regular season and Dougie Hamilton (lower body) is out indefinitely.

Casey scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Predators. This was Casey's first NHL action since Oct. 19. The 21-year-old is set to compete with Simon Nemec for playing time during the absence of Jonas Siegenthaler (lower body).

The Devils are reportedly working to sign defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic to a contract extension before the NHL Trade Deadline.

Amid a flurry of trade deadline activity, the New Jersey Devils are still struggling to improve their playoff status in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Flyers' postseason hopes continue to fade with the team mired in another extended slide.
