Tatar will be a game-time decision with an undisclosed injury against Detroit on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Lindy Ruff has previously said both Tatar and Nico Hischier (undisclosed) were "available for tomorrow" after taking maintenance days Tuesday, so it's not clear if something has changed. Regardless, it seems likely that Tatar will be able to face the Red Wings, though he is officially a game-time decision. If he were to miss out, Miles Wood could be a candidate to step into a first-line role, especially if Hischier also is sidelined.

Tatar logged a pair of assists in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar set up Jesper Bratt's tally in the third period before adding a second helper on a Nico Hischier goal later in the frame. The 32-year-old Tatar now has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last five contests. He's up to nine goals and 13 assists through 37 games this season.

Tatar scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Bruins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar scored on a rebound from the bottom of the left face-off circle at 11:01 of the third period. He has a goal in each of his last two games (two goal, one assist). Tatar has 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in 34 games this season, but will see his first-line gig end when Ondrej Palat (groin) returns early in 2023.

Tatar scored a goal during a 6-4 loss to the visiting Islanders on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar, who snapped a three-game pointless skid, cut the Islanders' lead to 6-3 at 2:30 of the third period. The 32-year-old left winger generated a team-high five shots on goal and added two hits. Tatar's role on the top line with Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt has done wonders for his rating; he sits at plus-19 in 27 games after posting a career-worst minus-22 mark last season.

Tatar logged a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar got the Devils on the board in the first period, ripping a backhander past Igor Shesterkin, to cut the Devils' deficit to 2-1. He'd pick up a second point with an assist on Yegor Sharangovich's empty-net goal late in the third. The 31-year-old winger has scored three goals in his last five outings. Tatar now has six goals and nine assists in 23 games this season.

Tatar scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-2 win over Arizona on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He roofed a shot high over Karel Vejmelka from in tight on a quick feed from Fabian Zetterlund to put the Devils up 1-0 early in the first period. Tatar later set up Jack Hughes for the Devils' second goal at 9:27. Tatar is on a seven-game, nine-point streak (two goals, seven assists).

Tatar registered two assists in a 3-2 win against Calgary on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar has a goal and eight points in 13 games this season. That's despite being held off the scoresheet in his first five contests of 2022-23. He was somewhat streaky last season with some long cold spells before ultimately finishing with 15 goals and 30 points in 76 contests. It wouldn't be surprising if he performs similarly this season, especially given that he's averaging less than 15 minutes per game.

Tatar posted an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar set up Fabian Zetterlund's go-ahead goal in the first period. After starting the year with no points in five games, Tatar has earned a goal and five assists in his last seven outings, including one helper in each of the last four contests. The winger has added 27 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating in 12 appearances while maintaining top-six minutes.

Tatar earned an assist during the 6-2 victory over the Red Wings on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar used his speed and determination to get back at the team that made him a second-round draft pick in 2009. Tatar hustled into the Red Wings' zone Tuesday, outbattled goalie Alex Nedeljkovic for the puck, and passed to an open Nico Hischier. His third-period marker restored the Devils' three-goal cushion. Despite getting at least 11:56 of ice time, Tatar was held off the scoresheet during the Devils' opening five games. He now has a goal and a helper in back-to-back outings. The third-line right winger is stepping up with the Devils playing with just 11 forwards.

Tatar totaled four shots and a blocked shot in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar has yet to mark the scoresheet through four games while skating on the third line and No. 2 power-play unit. He had 61 points in 68 games for the Canadiens in 2019-20, but the veteran winger has only 60 points in 130 games since.
