Goaltender Corey Crawford, who was the Devils' big free-agent signing this offseason, has taken a leave of absence for personal reasons, the team announced.

He was a co-head coach and then the sole head coach of the Edmonton Oilers, and, with a core of Hall of Famers, skated to five Stanley Cup championships from 1984 to '90.

With Ontario giving the Maple Leafs and Senators permission to play at home, six of the seven Canadian NHL teams have received the green light to host home games.

The Devils brought back defenseman Sami Vatanen less than a year after trading him to the Hurricanes.
