NEWARK -- Joseph Blandisi will get another crack with the Devils in the NHL after making a big impact in his first season.
Blandisi was called up to the Devils from Albany on Thursday, capping a busy day of transactions that gave a quick change to the Devils roster.
The 22-year-old Blandisi, who recorded 17 points in 41 games last season, will take the place for forward Luke Gazdic. Gazdic was placed on waivers at noon on Thursday.
The immediate plan for Gazdic is not clear -- if he clears waivers, the Devils can keep him practicing in New Jersey or send him to Albany within 30 days.
