Palmieri, 22, returns to the big club after being assigned to the Devils' top affiliate on Jan. 16. He has five goals, six assists for 11 points in 25 games with the A-Devils this season. The 6-3, 220-lb., right wing had compiled four goals, three assists for seven points in 26 NHL games this year.
This is the third recall for Palmieri, whose last appearance with New Jersey was Jan. 14 at Winnipeg.
