Bastian logged three assists in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Bastian picked up a helper on Jesper Boqvist's tally in the first period, Miles Wood's in the second and an empty-netter from Tomas Tatar in the final frame. It's the first three-point game this season for Bastian and his first multi-point effort since Nov. 5. The 25-year-old winger has six goals and nine assists in 42 games this season while moving in and out of a bottom-six role in New Jersey's lineup.

Bastian (upper body) is expected to suit up versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bastian will be back in the lineup following his 11-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. Injuries have limited the winger to just 36 games this season in which he notched six goals and six assists. If Bastian can get back to being fully fit heading into the postseason, he could be a sneaky low-end fantasy target even with his limited role.

EDGE Analysis
Bastian did join the Devils for the pregame warmups, so even though he won't be in the lineup Saturday, it does seem like he's close to returning. Perhaps Bastian will be an option for Sunday's contest against Winnipeg. The 25-year-old, who last played March 12, has six goals and 12 points in 39 appearances this season.

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.
