Blandisi was one of four Devils sent to the AHL's Albany Devils on Monday, Rich Chere of the Star Ledger reports.

Analysis:

This move will allow youngsters like Blandisi to get more seasoning, as Albany still has three regular season games remaining and is locked into a playoff berth. Blandisi could use the extra development, as the 21-year-old's 17 points in 41 games with New Jersey as a rookie were accompanied by a rough minus-14 rating.
