NEWARK, N.J. -- Jonas Siegenthaler will miss the remainder of the regular season with a lower-body injury, and Dougie Hamilton will also be out for an extended period because of a lower-body injury for the New Jersey Devils.
The news regarding each defenseman was announced by New Jersey general manager Tom Fitzgerald on Friday.
Siegenthaler left a 3-2 shootout win at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 4 after falling along the boards at 8:45 of the first period. He had nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 55 games and ranked second among Devils defensemen with 92 blocked shots and third with 75 hits.
Hamilton was injured during the Devils' 4-3 loss at the Dallas Stars on Tuesday when he got tangled up with Stars forward Mason Marchment behind the Dallas net at 18:13 of the first period.
He was in obvious pain after the play and headed straight for the locker room under his own power.
Hamilton leads Devils defensemen in goals (nine), assists (31), points (40), even-strength points (25) and power-play points (15).
The Devils acquired defenseman Brian Dumoulin in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday for a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and forward prospect Herman Traff.
The Devils (33-25-6) are third in the Metropolitan Division, four points ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have played two fewer games.
