Coach Lindy Ruff expects Bastian to be considered day-to-day with his undisclosed injury, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian won't play Tuesday versus the Rangers, but he should be ready to return sooner rather than later. Another update on the 24-year-old winger will presumably surface once he's cleared to rejoin the lineup.

Bastian (undisclosed) was injured Sunday against the Islanders, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian logged just 4:55 of ice time before exiting the game. An update on his status should be available before Tuesday's tilt with the Rangers. The 24-year-old has been held scoreless in nine straight games.

Bastian scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian tallied at 11:55 of the second period to get the Devils within a goal, but that was their last goal of the game. The 24-year-old has scored twice in his last four outings, though it remains tough to trust him in a fourth-line role. He's at 11 goals, two assists, 72 shots on net, 156 hits, 61 PIM and a minus-7 rating in 53 games between the Devils and the Kraken this season.

Bastian missed all three of his shot attempts and had two hits in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian skated just 11:51 in the contest, but he tied for the team lead with 2:57 of power-play ice time. While his role on the top power-play unit is intriguing, Bastian will need to be more accurate with his shots in order to take advantage of the opportunity and snap a point drought that's ballooned to 11 games.

Bastian scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian ended a four-game point drought with his second period tally, but that was it for the Devils' offense. The 24-year-old winger may not show much consistency yet, but he's worked his way into a top-six role in January. The second-round pick from 2016 has nine goals, two assists, 48 shots on net, 111 hits and a minus-2 rating in 37 appearances overall between the Devils and the Kraken this season.

Bastian scored twice in a 1:40 span in the first period of Saturday's 7-4 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian has seven goals in 20 games with the Devils this season. And he's been solid in his last five games with four goals and one assist. Bastian is having a career year, but he's not fantasy worthy Yet.

Bastian scored a goal and logged four PIM in a 3-2 loss to the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian only ended up missing one game (COVID-19). The right-winger has points in each of his last three games, including two power-play points. He has six goals on the season, five coming in his 18 contests with New Jersey.

Bastian was removed from the COVID-19 list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian missed one game while in protocols and he could return Thursday against the Islanders. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 11:45 of ice time with five points in 17 games since the Devils claimed him off waivers.

Bastian entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian will need to submit two negative COVID-19 tests before rejoining his teammates, so he'll miss Saturday's clash with Columbus at a minimum. The Devils are super shorthanded up front at the moment, so they'll likely need to recall several skaters from their taxi squad to fill in against the Blue Jackets.

Bastian scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian's line with Jimmy Vesey and Michael McLeod was hard-matched against Sidney Crosby's line, which left both forward groups fruitless at even strength. Bastian's power-play goal in the third period was his first special-teams point in his career. The 24-year-old is up to four goals, one assist, 24 shots on net, 55 hits, 33 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 24 contests evenly divided between the Devils and the Kraken this season. It's unclear if his power-play time is something that will last or if it's a desperate move from head coach Lindy Ruff as the Devils deal with having five players in COVID-19 protocols.
