ALBANY, NY – The New Jersey Devils have returned forward Brian O’Neill to the Albany Devils. O’Neill, who was summoned to the NHL Friday, has 23 points for Albany this season, posting nine goals and 14 assists in 31 contests.

O’Neill’s return comes at a good time for the Devils, who host Springfield Tuesday at Times Union Center. During Albany’s game Sunday at Bridgeport, it was forced to dress just 11 forwards because of injuries and recalls.
