forward prospects John Quenneville and Joseph Blandisi were two players on the NHL roster bubble during training camp in September, where they were among the last cuts as the Devils picked their final 23 players.
Both players had strong camps, but the Devils ultimately made the decision to start them in Binghamton in the AHL.
While the two went down to get more ice time and opportunities, Binghamton coach Rick Kowalsky saw they had their sights set on playing in the NHL to start the season.
"I think it was a little frustrating or disheartening for Q and Blender," Kowalsky told NJ Advance Media.
