The Devils’ final 23-man roster is set, at least for now.

There’s still a chance an injury changes things before the 2019-20 season officially opens against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday at Prudential Center in Newark, but for now, the Devils have cut their roster to their final 23 players.

Defenseman Ty Smith, the team’s 2018 first-round pick, was among the final cuts made by the team. He’ll head back to Spokane in the WHL to play one more season of junior hockey.

Defenseman Matt Tennyson, who was placed on waivers on Monday, cleared at noon on Tuesday, and he was reassigned to Binghamton in the AHL.

That left the Devils with 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goalies for opening night:

Forwards: Jesper Bratt, Jesper Boqvist, Blake Coleman Taylor Hall, John Hayden, Nico Hischier, Jack Hughes, Nikita Gusev, Kyle Palmieri, Kevin Rooney, Wayne Simmonds, Miles Wood, Pavel Zacha, Travis Zajac

Defensemen: Will Butcher, Connor Carrick, Andy Greene, Mirco Mueller, Damon Severson, P.K. Subban, Sami Vatanen

Goalies: Mackenzie Blackwood, Cory Schneider

So for the second straight year, Smith was among the team’s final cuts out of training camp. While that’s certainly a disappointment for Smith, he’ll still get the chance to improve his game in junior hockey, even if it seems as if he has nothing left to prove.

With Smith back, the Spokane Chiefs could be favorites to win their league and go to the Memorial Cup. They reached the conference finals of the WHL last season. And Smith will also get a chance to be a major part of Team Canada at the World Junior Championships this winter.

The Devils will be off on Wednesday after traveling back from Annapolis, Maryland, and their final preseason practice on Thursday should give a good hint about the opening-night lineup.
