Yesterday, Andrew Gross reported at Fire & Ice that Sergey Kalinin would be activated from injured reserve for tonight’s game against Minnesota. Space on the active roster needed to be made in order to do that. Earlier this afternoon, the New Jersey Devils created that space on the roster. Gross reported at Fire & Ice that forward Miles Wood has been demoted to the Albany Devils in the American Hockey League. Subsequently, the team activated Kalinin.
Wood was one of two forwards on the Devils roster that could be moved without going through waivers.
