Šimon Nemec will begin his second season overseas in the AHL as the New Jersey Devils' management sent him down to the Utica Comets, their farm team, just one day before the start of the new NHL season.

The Devils' main roster includes seven defensemen, and the 19-year-old Slovak was the eighth in line.

New Jersey will kick off the new NHL season at home against Detroit on Friday night, while the 2023/24 season's first game will be tonight at 23:30 CEST, featuring a match between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Nashville Predators.

Nineteen-year-old Nemec, last year's second-round draft pick, fought for a spot on the first team until the last moment. In the preseason, he played four games for New Jersey, scoring two goals and providing two assists. He made a strong case for himself to earn a spot in the NHL, but unfortunately for him, the Devils currently have eight defensemen on their roster, with six of them having one-way contracts.

In addition to Nemec, Luke Hughes also has a two-way contract, but the club had already counted on the young American for the first team. The seven defensemen in NJ's opening lineup include Kevin Bahl, Dougie Hamilton, Luke Hughes, John Marino, Colin Miller, Jonas Siegenthaler, and Brendan Smith.

The Devils have also listed two goalies and 14 forwards on their roster. Nemec played for Utica in the previous season, accumulating 34 points (12 goals and 22 assists) in 65 regular-season games, with an additional four points (1 goal and 3 assists) in six playoff games.
