Vilen was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.
Vilen will return to AHL Utica if he clears waivers. Across 61 regular-season outings with the Comets in 2025-26, the 23-year-old blueliner posted 23 assists and 27 points. While he likely won't play more than a handful of games for New Jersey in the 2026-27 season, he should have ample opportunities to develop in the AHL.

Vilen inked a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Wednesday.
Vilen appeared in two regular-season games last year in which he posted one block and a plus-1 rating while averaging 15:28 of ice time. Even with a new contract in hand, the 23-year-old blueliner will be hard-pressed to break into the NHL full time next year. As such, he figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Vilen was assigned to AHL Utica on Wednesday.
Vilen played in the Devils' final two games of the 2025-26 regular season, making his NHL debut against Ottawa on Sunday. He didn't record a point but logged a blocked shot while averaging 15:28 of ice time. He has four goals and 24 points in 59 AHL appearances this campaign.

Vilen was summoned from AHL Utica on Friday.
The Devils are down to six healthy defensemen as Luke Hughes (undisclosed) and Brett Pesce (lower body) appear to be out for the remainder of the season. Vilen, who could make his NHL debut in one of the final three games of the regular season, has four goals and 20 assists in 59 AHL contests this season.

Vilen notched three assists in AHL Utica's 5-3 win over Cleveland on Saturday.
Vilen's production has been steady compared to last year -- he has 24 points in 57 games this season, the same total he logged in more games in the 2024-25 regular season. He has gone nine contests without a goal, but he's earned six helpers in that span. The Devils' blue line is still a strength at the NHL level, giving Vilen plenty of time to continue his development with Utica.

Vilen notched three assists in AHL Utica's 5-1 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Vilen has a goal and seven helpers over his last 10 outings for one of his best stretches of the season. He's at just 17 points in 46 appearances overall. While he's got the time to get to the 20-point mark again, he hasn't elevated his offense in his third AHL campaign.
