Rotowire
Severson scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Coyotes.
Severson set up a Jesper Boqvist goal late in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. This was Severson's first multi-point effort since Jan. 13, when he had three assists against the lowly Ducks. The defenseman isn't anywhere near the pace he showed in producing 46 points over 80 contests a year ago -- he has five tallies, 16 helpers, 79 shots on net, 85 blocks and a plus-6 rating through 61 outings in 2022-23.

Rotowire
Severson registered an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
Seventy-five percent of Severson's points have come in wins this season, but with only four goals and 12 assists total, the defenseman will be hard-pressed to come near the career-high 46 points that he set with New Jersey last season. He is, however, consistently adding value in the defensive zone with 71 blocked shots through 49 games.

Rotowire
Severson had one shot, one blocked shot, two PIM and one hit in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Rotowire
Severson totaled 11 goals and 35 assists over 80 appearances in 2021-22.
Severson tied his career high in goals from 2018-19 while breaking 40 points for the first time.

Devils' Damon Severson: Producing in Hamilton's absence
Rotowire
Severson dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Montreal.
Severson has 15 points in his last 15 games, and six of his nine points in the last nine contests have come on the power play, as he's thriving on the top extra-man unit with Dougie Hamilton (jaw) sidelined. While Severson's output will likely drop when Hamilton returns, it's unclear when that will be. At the very least, Hamilton has already been ruled out for Thursday's game in St. Louis.
