All Clear: The fear of losing Scott Wedgewood has passed. On Monday, the 24-year-old was placed on waivers so he could be assigned to the AHL Devils. News came at noon Tuesday that Wedgewood officially cleared and is Albany bound. Wedgewood made a case with his play last season and during this year's training camp that he was deserving of a spot on New Jersey's 23-man roster.

Deadline Approaches: The A-Devils will have to set their Opening Day roster by Thursday at 11:59 pm. With New Jersey Devils claiming P.A.

Additionally, decisions still need to be made on Patch Alber and Mathieu Brodeur, who are attending Albany's Training Camp on a tryout.
