Bastian (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bastian was expected to miss at least a week, so this move isn't surprising. The 23-year-old is eligible to return March 25 against the Capitals, but he's likely to miss more time. The 23-year-old played 27 straight games to start the year, posting two goals and four assists.

Bastian is week-to-week with his lower-body injury, Chris Ryan of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bastian's extended absence will test the Devils' depth up front, but it shouldn't impact many fantasy lineups, as he's only picked up six points in 27 games this campaign.

Bastian suffered a lower-body injury during Thursday's win over the Penguins, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils have yet to release a timetable for Bastian's return, but he's only picked up six points in 27 games this campaign, so most fantasy managers won't need to track his status. Another update on the 23-year-old winger should be released once he's ready to rejoin the lineup.

Bastian (undisclosed) left Thursday's game versus the Penguins after a hit in the second period, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bastian exited early in the second period and didn't join the Devils on the bench to start the third. It's unclear how badly Bastian is hurt. The Devils play the Penguins again Saturday.

Bastian scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old sent a pretty feed to Mikhail Maltsev late in the first period for New Jersey's second goal and then potted the team's third tally himself late in the third, but in between the game was all Rangers. Bastian had gone 10 straight games without a point coming into Saturday and on the season has only two goals and six points through 20 contests, keeping him well off the fantasy radar.

Bastian was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list Wednesday, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils now have 17 players in the league's COVID-19 protocol. Their next scheduled game is Feb. 9 against the Penguins, but the status of that game should be considered uncertain at this point. The 23-year-old recorded four points and 18 hits through the first nine games.

Bastian scored a goal on two shots and dished out a pair of hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Bastian got the Devils on the board with a wrist shot from the high slot, cutting New York's lead to 2-1 just over two minutes into the middle stanza. It was the first goal of the season for the 23-year-old, who patrolled the right wing of New Jersey's fourth line and led the team's forwards in PK minutes (2:37).
