Daws inked a two-year contract with New Jersey on Tuesday. - Daws contract is a two-way deal in year one before it converts to a one-way in the second year. It's an unsurprising clause when you consider the team has both Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen under contract for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign. Looks for Daws to spend nearly the entire season in the minors with AHL Utica -- unless Markstrom or Allen picks up an injury at some point. |

Daws was reassigned to AHL Utica on Monday. - Daws managed just one win in his last five outings, posting a 1-3-0 record and 2.88 GAA. With new additions Jake Allen and Kaapo Kahkonen available, Daws was the odd man out and figures to spend the remainder of the campaign in the minors, barring an injury to one of the aforementioned backstops. |

Daws stopped all 16 shots he faced in relief of Kaapo Kahkonen in a 4-1 loss to Arizona on Saturday. - The Devils brought Kahkonen in at the deadline, but the former Shark has lost 11 straight games and is 1-17-3 in his last 21 decisions. Daws was sharp, but he won't get a load of time with Kahkonen and Jake Allen now in town. |

Daws will defend the home crease versus Carolina on Saturday, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com. - This could be Daws' final start for the Devils this season after the team acquired Jake Allen (not injured related) from Montreal and Kaapo Kahkonen (not injury related) from San Jose before Friday's trade deadline. Allen and Kahkonen are unavailable for Saturday's contest due to travel and immigration issues. Daws is 9-10-0 with a 3.32 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 19 NHL appearances this season. The Hurricanes sit 11th in the league with 3.29 goals per game in 2023-24. |

Daws is set to start at home against St. Louis on Thursday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. - Daws has an 8-10-0 record, 3.47 GAA and .887 save percentage in 18 appearances in 2023-24. He'll attempt to rebound after allowing eight goals on 27 shots (.704 save percentage) over his past two outings. St. Louis ranks 26th offensively with 2.82 goals per game, so this should be a favorable matchup for Daws. |

Daws gave up four goals on 13 shots before being replaced by Akira Schmid midway through the second period of Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Kings. - A power-play tally by Kevin Fiala prompted the switch in net by coach Lindy Ruff, and it was more a reflection of his team's sloppy play than it was Daws' performance. The 23-year-old goalie has lost four of his last six starts, going 2-4-0 with a rough 4.62 GAA and .813 save percentage, and he's gotten the hook in each of the last two. With the Devils' postseason hopes fading fast -- they're eight points back of a wild-card spot, with the Isles and Caps between them and the Lightning for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference -- a trade deadline deal for a big-name netminder may be less likely than it looked a few weeks ago. Even if the team doesn't make a move, Daws may not hold onto the No. 1 job much longer. |

Daws will be stationed between the pipes in Los Angeles on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws got shelled by the Ducks on Friday, coughing up four goals on just 14 shots in two periods.

The 23-year-old has filled in as the Devils' No. 1 goalie with Vitek Vanecek (lower body) out. Daws will get a favorable matchup with a Sharks team that has scored 11 goals over five games since the All-Star break. |
None |

Daws will guard the home net Saturday against the Canadiens, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - It'll be the seventh straight appearance for Daws with Vitek Vanecek (lower body) still unavailable. The 23-year-old Daws has lost back-to-back outings, allowing 11 goals on 44 shots in that span. He'll look to right the ship Saturday against a Montreal team averaging 2.74 goals per game. |
None |
| Feb. 23, 2024 |
Daws made 13 saves in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers. - The poor numbers for Daws can be laid squarely at the feet of a Devils' defense that committed multiple turnovers and mental errors in its own zone, but that doesn't change the fact that the 23-year-old has given up 11 goals on only 44 shots over the last two games. The pressure is mounting on New Jersey to make a splash at the trade deadline and acquire a frontline goalie, but in the short term Daws may need a breather after starting six straight games and going 3-3-0 with a 3.19 GAA and .895 save percentage. |
None |
| Feb. 22, 2024 |
Daws is expected to start at home against the Rangers on Thursday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. - Daws will attempt to rebound after allowing six goals on 26 shots in a loss to Washington on Tuesday. He has a 6-7-0 record, 3.18 GAA and .903 save percentage in 13 contests this season. The Rangers, who are in a three-way tie for goals per game this year, might be a difficult adversary for Daws. |
None |

Daws will protect the road goal versus the Capitals on Tuesday, Catherine Bogart of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws has been sharp lately, winning three of his last four contests while allowing a total of eight goals in that span.

None |
| Feb. 17, 2024 |
Daws will protect the home goal versus the Flyers in Saturday's Stadium Series game. - Daws will get to play outdoors in his 12th appearance of the campaign. He's been passable in a backup role this season, posting a 5-6-0 record with a 2.93 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Flyers are averaging just 2.91 goals per game, but their defense could give the Devils trouble to supply Daws with enough goal support. |
None |
| Feb. 16, 2024 |
Daws stopped 27 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Kings. - After a scoreless first period, the two teams traded goals in the second, before a Quinton Byfield power-play tally in the third proved to be the difference. Daws has started three straight games while Vitek Vanecek (lower body) has been sidelined, and the 23-year-old netminder has dazzled by allowing only five goals on 89 shots (.944 save percentage). Vanecek could return next week, but the duo might move into a timeshare given Daws' current form. |

Daws will guard the home goal versus LA on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws has been excellent of late, picking up back-to-back wins over the Kraken and the Predators while posting an impressive 1.50 GAA and .950 save percentage.

Daws will guard the road goal versus the Predators on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws was sharp in stopping 27 of 28 shots against the Kraken on Monday, and he'll go again a day later.

None |
| Feb. 12, 2024 |
Daws will patrol the home crease Monday against Seattle, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. - Vitek Vanecek won't be available for Monday's contest because of a lower-body injury and an illness, so the Devils will need to recall a goalie from AHL Utica to serve as the backup. Daws has allowed 14 goals on 108 shots en route to four straight losses, which has dropped his record to 3-5-0 through eight NHL appearances this campaign. The Kraken sit 27th in the league this season with 2.76 goals per game. |

Daws stopped nine of 12 shots before being pulled in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Carolina on Thursday. - Daws was replaced by Vitek Vanecek early in the second period. It's been a rough stretch for Daws, who has now lost his last four appearances while allowing 14 goals on 108 shots (.870 save percentage). That drags his 2023-24 totals down to 3-5-0 with a 3.43 GAA and an .895 save percentage across eight contests. Vanecek's struggles have created an opening for the Devils' starting gig, but Daws hasn't proven that he's a good option either. |
None |

Daws is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws has a 3-4-0 record, 3.19 GAA and .903 save percentage in seven contests this season. He's lost his last three starts while stopping 85 of 96 shots (.885 save percentage). Carolina will be a tough adversary for the struggling goaltender -- the Hurricanes rank 10th offensively this year with 3.39 goals per game. |
None |

Daws is expected to start in Saturday's home game against Dallas, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. - Daws has lost his last two contests, but he has stopped 55 of 60 shots (.917 save percentage) during that stretch. Through six appearances this season, he has a 3-3-0 record, 2.71 GAA and .917 save percentage. Dallas ranks third offensively this year with 3.61 goals per game, so this will be a difficult matchup for Daws. |

Daws made 22 saves in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens. - The Devils were getting shut out until they found two power-play goals early in the third period, but Daws couldn't get the game to overtime. He had trouble squeezing a Jordan Harris point shot with less than five minutes left in regulation, and Cole Caufield banged home the rebound. Daws has started three straight games and six of nine since being called up, going 3-3-0 with a 2.71 GAA and .917 save percentage, and the 23-year-old appears to be coach Lindy Ruff's preferred option in the crease right now over a struggling Vitek Vanecek (3.08 GAA and .885 save percentage since the beginning of December.) |

Daws will patrol the home crease versus the Canadiens on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws was sharp in his last start Monday against the Bruins, stopping 33 of 35 shots, but he still came away with a loss due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll try to get back in the win column in a favorable home matchup with a Montreal team that's averaging only 2.80 goals per game on the road this year, 26th in the NHL. |
None |

Daws turned aside 33 of 35 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Bruins. - The 23-year-old netminder did his best to keep his team in the game, but Jeremy Swayman shut down every scoring opportunity the Devils mustered.

Since his promotion from AHL Utica after Christmas, Daws has gone 3-2-0 in five starts with a 2.63 GAA and .922 save percentage, while Vanecek has a 3.08 GAA and .885 save percentage since the beginning of December. |

Daws made 36 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Panthers. - A Sam Reinhart power-play tally in the second period spoiled his shutout bid, but otherwise Daws was in full control. The 23-year-old netminder has won three of four starts since being called up from AHL Utica, allowing 11 goals on 131 shots (.916 save percentage), and while he's working in a timeshare with Vitek Vanecek at the moment, Vanecek's 3.08 GAA and .885 save percentage since the beginning of December have left the door open for Daws to potentially seize the top job in the Devils' crease. |

Daws will protect the home goal versus the Canucks on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws has apparently carved out a 50-50 split with Vitek Vanecek between the pipes for the Devils. The momentum is in Daws' favor -- he has won both of his starts this season, allowing five goals on 53 shots. The Canucks will be his biggest test yet, as they come in having scored 23 goals over their last six games. |
None |
| Jan. 4, 2024 |
Daws stopped 23 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Capitals. - The 23-year-old netminder let an early lead slip away as Washington tied it up 3-3 late in the second period, but Daws held firm in the third as New Jersey pulled away. He's won both his starts since being called up last week, allowing five goals on 53 shots, and considering that Vitek Vanecek stumbled to a 3.11 GAA and .888 save percentage through eight appearances in December, the door is open for Daws to at least work his way into a timeshare in the Devils crease if he keeps getting results. |

Daws is slated to get the starting nod on the road versus Washington on Wednesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports. - Daws will be making just his second NHL start of the season after stopping 25 of 27 shots in a win over the Senators on Friday. The netminder has seen limited action in the minors this year as well, going 1-2-0 with a .929 save percentage and 2.39 GAA in three games with the Comets. Daws figures to be on a short leash as the No. 2 option behind Vitek Vanecek as both Keith Kinkaid and Akira Schmid are in contention for the team's No. 2 role. |

He was 16-14-3 with a 2.70 GAA and .904 save percentage in 33 games with Utica in 2022-23. He likely would be the first goalie recalled if there is an injury to either Vitek Vanecek or Akira Schmid. |
None |

Daws (undisclosed) was placed on the non-roster injured reserve Monday. - It's unclear what Daws is dealing with, but he'll miss some time to begin the 2023-24 campaign. He posted a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 33 games with AHL Utica last year and should return to the minors once he's healthy. |

Daws will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Coyotes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws snapped a three-start losing streak in his last appearance when he stopped 27 of 28 shots versus the Stars. The 21-year-old has seen a majority of the playing time for the Devils lately, and a matchup with the Coyotes is a highly favorable one for him to get a second straight win for the first time since March 6-8. |

Daws replaced starter Andrew Hammond early in the third period of Thursday's 7-4 loss. He allowed one goal on seven shots. - It was a tough night for Devils goalies -- the Habs were buzzing the Devils' net all game long. New Jersey has challenges in the twine tent, but Daws has shown as much potential as any of their many options this season. Even at 21 years of age. He will be hard-pressed to help you this season given the challenges the team faces, but he may be a longer-term investment if you're building for a few years down the road. |

Daws stopped 14 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. - The New Jersey defense did a good job keeping its end of the ice clear for its 21-year-old rookie netminder, but unfortunately the Devils couldn't stay out of the penalty box -- the first two New York goals both came on power plays, and Daws had no chance on either one. The Devils have three goalies on their roster right now but Daws is still getting the bulk of the work, going 5-10-0 over 15 outings since the beginning of March with a 3.58 GAA and .880 save percentage. |

Daws made 25 saves in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders. - He had little chance on any of New York's goals, with Kyle Palmieri's eventual game-winner coming on a wicked snap shot through a partial screen. Daws has only two wins in his last eight starts, posting a dreadful 4.67 GAA and .857 save percentage over that stretch, but none of the Devils' other goalies are doing any better right now so the 21-year-old should continue to get regular work. |

Daws will patrol the blue paint at home against the Islanders on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Daws was crushed for five goals on 20 shots against Boston on Thursday before he was pulled from the game.

The youngster's hold on the starting job should be considered tenuous at best as Andrew Hammond (lower body) will likely take over the starting job once given the all-clear. |

The 21-year-old has started nine games in a row, but it seems like that streak is soon to end given his recent struggles. He's at 6-6-0 with a 2.99 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 14 appearances. The Devils finish their current road trip Saturday in Edmonton. |

Daws stopped 19 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues. - The 21-year-old netminder took a shutout into the second intermission, but two early goals by St. Louis in the final frame tied things up and had Daws on the ropes. Fortunately for New Jersey, he regained his focus and Dougie Hamilton quickly ended things in OT. Daws has started five of the last six games, going 3-2-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .925 save percentage, and the Devils seem willing to ride with the 2020 third-round pick as their No. 1 goalie as long as he's keeping them in games and doesn't seem overwhelmed by the responsibility. |

Daws will get the starting nod Thursday in Pittsburgh. - Daws stopped two shots in relief during a Feb. 15 loss to Tampa Bay but he'll make his first start since Feb. 7 when he allowed four goals on 24 shots against Ottawa. The rookie netminder is 1-1-0 with a 3.33 GAA and an .862 save percentage through four NHL appearances this season. He'll face a tough test against a top-10 scoring team in Pittsburgh. |

Daws stopped both shots he faced after replacing Jon Gillies in the third period of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning. - Daws didn't have much to do over the game's final 9:39. Gillies was saddled with the loss after allowing all six Lightning goals. After watching Gillies start each of New Jersey's last four games, Daws will likely get the nod either Thursday in Pittsburgh or Friday in Chicago. |

Daws allowed four goals on 24 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Senators. - Daws wasn't very sharp in just his third NHL appearance, and the Senators were able to capitalize to send the 21-year-old to his first loss. He's allowed eight goals on 56 shots so far, and he's likely to at least serve as backup to Jon Gillies while Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) remains on injured reserve. It'll likely be Gillies tending the twine Tuesday against the Canadiens. |

The Devils recalled Daws from AHL Utica on Friday. - New Jersey already had two healthy goalies on the active roster, so it's unclear why the team added Daws during the All-Star break. The 21-year-old's only NHL experience consists of two October games this season and he doesn't figure to play again for the Devils in 2021-22. |
