Bastian provided an assist, logged four hits, blocked two shots and fired two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

This was Bastian's first point in five outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. The fourth-line winger added nine PIM and eight hits over that span. He's not a significant source of offense -- he's at nine points, 30 shots on net, 58 hits, 24 PIM, 22 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 26 appearances this season.

Bastian (upper body) is set to return Thursday versus Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian last played Nov. 26. He has three goals and eight points in 21 contests in 2022-23. Bastian is likely to serve in a bottom-six role in his return.

Bastian (upper body) will join the Devils for their four-game West Coast trip, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian remains on injured reserve but is practicing with the team and could make his return to action during the trip out west. Prior to getting hurt, the winger managed just one point in his prior eight contests. Once activated off IR, Bastian will likely start in a bottom-six role but could move up the lineup periodically.

Bastian (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian was injured on Nov. 26 and has missed the last 11 games. He has three goals and five assists with 50 hits in 21 games this season.

Per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site, Bastian (upper body) 'is a ways away' from returning to action, according to coach Lindy Ruff.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian was injured in a 5-1 win over Washington on Nov. 26 and has missed the last eight games. The 25-year-old has three goals and eight points in 21 games this season.

Bastian (upper body) doesn't have a timeline in place for a return to the lineup yet, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian won't be available for Monday's game against the Rangers after being injured Saturday versus Washington. Coach Lindy Ruff expects that the Devils forward will be "out for a bit" due to an upper-body injury. Alexander Holtz, who was called up Monday, is projected to replace Bastian in the lineup.

Bastian won't return to Saturday's game against Washington because of an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian might have sustained the injury when he absorbed a hit from Washington's T.J. Oshie at 5:53 of the first period, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com. Bastian left the game after that hit, having logged just 1:25 of ice time. Entering Saturday's game, he had three goals and eight points in 20 contests this season. New Jersey entered the game with only 12 healthy forwards on the roster, so if Bastian can't play Monday versus the Rangers, then New Jersey will probably call up another player.

Bastian scored a first-period goal during Saturday's 5-1 victory over the host Senators.

EDGE Analysis

In position at the edge of the crease, Bastian scored off a rebound of Mile Wood's shot attempt. It was the first goal in six outings for the 24-year-old right winger and proved to be the game-winner. Bastian, who registered zero shots during 19 shifts in his last appearance against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, finished with three shots and a team-high six hits during the Devils' 12th-consecutive victory.

Bastian scored a goal, supplied an assist and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian and the Devils' fourth line did some damage in the first period to help establish an early lead. The winger has a goal and four assists during his four-game point streak. The 24-year-old doesn't see a lot of even-strength ice time, but he's been a factor on the top power-play unit lately as a net-front presence. He's yet to cash in with the man advantage, but it's a positive development for his scoring potential. Bastian has two goals, four helpers, 14 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-2 rating through 11 contests this season.

Bastian (lower body) is expected to play Saturday afternoon against San Jose, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian was considered to be a game-time decision for the contest after he missed Friday's practice. However, he is on the ice for the pregame warmups and appears to be good to go. New Jersey is projected to dress seven defensemen and 11 forwards in the game.
