Dadonov Placed On LTIR

Earlier today, the Devils placed winger Evgenii Dadonov on injured reserve with his fractured hand.  While a full timeline for recovery remains unknown, New Jersey clearly knows he’ll be out a while as PuckPedia reports (Twitter link) that the winger has been moved to LTIR.  In doing so, they’re certifying that he will miss at least 10 games and 24 days because of the injury.  With the placement, the Devils have added $1MM in room to their LTIR pool, giving themselves a bit more recall flexibility.  The 36-year-old also has $2.25MM in potential performance bonuses but those aren’t eligible to be added to an LTIR pool.  He’ll need to play in at least 50 games during the regular season to max out on the regular season games played portion of those incentives.
