Dadonov has been a healthy scratch since April 2nd but with New Jersey sending a pair of forwards back to Utica (AHL) on Monday, will draw back into the lineup in Boston on Tuesday. The 37-year-old veteran forward has had a season to forget in New Jersey after a 20/20 campaign last year, with just one goal and 20 SOG in 23 games played.
After a solid 20-goal season with Dallas in 2024-25, Dadonov's first season in New Jersey has been disappointing, and he will head to the press box as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. The 26-year-old forward has zero points through 16 games this season. Juho Lammikko will draw into the lineup as Dadonov's replacement.
Dadonov has been plagued by injuries this season, suffering a hand injury in the first game that kept him sidelined for nearly six weeks, and now he is battling an undisclosed injury that will likely keep him out of the lineup indefinitely. His inability to stay in the lineup has hampered cohesion with his new team, and he has yet to score a point through five games this season.

After spending most of the previous three seasons with the Dallas Stars, Dadonov has signed a one-year contract worth $1 million with the New Jersey Devils. The 36-year-old Dadonov was effective in a sheltered role with the Stars, averaging 13:39 time-on-ice and scoring 78 points (35G / 43A) in 154 combined games. He will likely play a similar bottom-six role for the Devils in 2025-26.
Dadonov was limited to 9:57 time-on-ice in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, well below his 13:50 average this season, recording a -2 plus/minus, and will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 36-year-old Dadonov has been productive from a bottom-six role for the Stars lately, scoring 13 points (4G / 9A) in his last 19 games. Colin Blackwell will draw into the lineup as Dadonov's replacement.
Dadonov has not played since February 10th due to a lower-body fracture and will return to the lineup in the Stars' final game of the season. Dadonov had three points (2G / 1A) in his last five games before his injury and has 23 points (12G / 11A) in 50 games this season. Tyler Seguin (rest) will be the odd man out of the lineup.
