Bastian posted two assists in Monday's 6-5 overtime win against the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian finished with a plus-2 rating, a shot on goal and a hit in his 15:39 of ice time. It was the right winger's first multi-point showing of the season. His last multi-point performance came on April 11, 2023 when he had three assists in a victory against the Sabres. He'll look to add to his totals in a road game Thursday against the Hurricanes.

Bastian found the back of the net in a 4-1 win over Columbus on Fridaay.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian earned his third marker and eighth point in 41 contests this season. The tally also snapped his three-game scoring drought. Bastian is serving strictly in a bottom-six role with irregular power-play ice time, so he shouldn't be expected to make regular offensive contributions this year.

Bastian recorded an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils were in control for basically the entire game, with fourth-line winger Bastian even getting in on the action. He's scored one goal to go along with five helpers through 34 contests. New Jersey ranks seventh in the league at 3.46 goals per game, but Bastian simply doesn't play enough to warrant consideration in fantasy leagues.

Bastian (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian was deemed a game-time decision, but he was involved in line rushes in warmups in his usual fourth-line spot. The 26-year-old has five points, 56 hits and a minus-9 rating through 29 outings this season, and he's been out of the power-play mix for all of December.

According to coach Lindy Ruff, Bastian (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Saturday versus Detroit, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian has a pair of assists in his last three games. The 26-year-old winger has one goal, five points and 56 hits in 29 contests this season.

Bastian posted an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian snapped his seven-game point drought when he set up a Michael McLeod tally in the first period. The 25-year-old Bastian has been limited to fourth-line minutes for much of the campaign, and he hasn't scored enough to warrant a promotion in the lineup. He's at three points with 26 shots on net, 39 hits, four PIM and a minus-9 rating over 22 contests.

Bastian skated just 8:27 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers, recording one shot and one blocked shot.

EDGE Analysis

The majority of Bastian's ice time came on special teams, as he logged 1:40 on the power play and 2:43 shorthanded. His role on the second power-play unit can give Bastian an inkling of fantasy relevance at times, but a minuscule fourth-line role at even strength makes it tough for the 25-year-old winger to score consistently. Bastian's currently mired in a six-game point drought, which has him stuck on one goal and one assist this season.

Bastian contributed an assist, one shot, one blocked shot, two hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

This is about as much as Bastian can stuff the stat-sheet from his little-used fourth-line role; all that production came in just 8:24 TOI on Thursday. The assist was Bastian's first point of 2023-24. He had six goals and nine assists in 43 appearance last season.

Bastian signed a two-year, $2.7 million contract with New Jersey on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian accounted for six goals, 15 points and 99 hits in 43 games with the Devils last season. He should be expected to occupy a fourth-line role with the team in 2023-24.

Bastian didn't get a qualifying offer from New Jersey, which will result in him becoming an unrestricted free agent Saturday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian had six goals, 15 points, 31 PIM, 99 hits and 38 blocks in 43 outings with the Devils last season. He completed a two-year, $1.65 million contract and would have required a one-year, $918,750 qualifying offer for New Jersey to retain his exclusive negotiating rights.
