Devils evaluate prospect Amadeus Lombardi while Eddie Genborg returns to lineup

New Jersey Devils prospect Amadeus Lombardi is considered the organization's most NHL-ready player who has yet to make his debut in the league. Analysts note that Lombardi possesses strong skating abilities and offensive instincts that fit the profile of a bottom-six center. Despite his potential, team depth at the center position with Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier suggests he may not be included on the roster immediately for training camp. The organization is currently prioritizing his development after his previous stint with the Detroit Red Wings organization. Meanwhile, prospect Eddie Genborg is expected to return to action for a preseason game against MoDo on September 4, 2026. The Red Wings continue to manage their roster development as they look for a new director of hockey operations before the start of the upcoming season.
