Bastian will miss out versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian has just one point in his last six contests while also dishing out 21 hits and averaging 10:37 of ice time. Bastian may have been in danger of losing his roster spot even if healthy with Curtis Lazar poised to make his Devils debut. Once given the all-clear, Bastian figures to be in the mix for a bottom-six role but could periodically serve as a healthy scratch.
