Analysis:

DeMelo was only recalled as insurance on defense for Tuesday's game against the Kings with Justin Braun (upper body) unavailable. He ended up serving as a healthy scratch in the outing, and will now head back to Worcester to stay sharp while the NHL breaks for the All-Star Game. The 21-year-old leads all Worcester blueliners in points and assists.
