NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Devils said Thursday that forward Timo Meier is taking a personal leave of absence from the team to attend to a family health matter.

No other details were provided. The Devils say the organization supports Meier and his family and appreciate their privacy at this time.

Meier is nearing the midway point of his third season with New Jersey after being traded there from San Jose at the deadline in late February 2023. He spent the first part of his NHL career with the Sharks.
