The Devils reassigned Bastian to AHL Binghamton on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian lit the lamp twice in the Devils' season finale to bring his total to three goals in seven games. The 2016 second-round pick will finish the season with the minor-league affiliate, and he'll look to make enough improvements to stick with the big club full-time next year.

Bastian scored two goals in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The 2016 second-round pick didn't get much of a chance to show what he could do in his first taste of NHL action due to an upper-body injury, but Bastian did light the lamp three times in seven games. The 21-year-old will head into camp next season looking to carve out a regular role for the rebuilding Devils.

Bastian (upper body) played 9:21 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Rangers, recording three hits and one shot on goal while spending five minutes in the penalty box.

EDGE Analysis

Playing for the first time in a month, Bastian took on a role on the Devils' checking line and didn't hesitate to lay the wood in his limited ice time. The 21-year-old is expected to stick in the lineup for New Jersey's final two games of the regular season.

Bastian (upper body) will suit up against the Rangers on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian returns following a 14-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. The winger figures to see similar ice time to his previous four appearances (12:34 per game) and should be in the lineup for the final three contests of the year. While far from a lock, the 20-year-old should compete for a spot on the 23-man roster heading into the 2019-20 campaign.

Bastian (upper body) will travel with the team to Detroit on Friday, but has been ruled out for the next two games, Chris Ryan of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Bastian is at least well enough to make the trip is a good sign, but he will have to wait a little longer before getting back into the lineup. The winger appeared in just four games this season, in which he tallied one goal, six shots and 13 hits, and could struggle to make the 23-man coming out of camp this fall.

Bastian (upper body) will remain on the shelf for Monday's matchup with Buffalo, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian was able to join his teammates on the ice, so he is heading in the right direction, but won't be ready in time to face the Sabres. The winger could struggle to get into the lineup even once healthy, given the number of other guys currently getting looks from team brass, including Kenny Agostino, Kurtis Gabriel and Kevin Rooney. With three extra days to prepare for the Devils' back-to-back Friday and Saturday, Bastian will get an opportunity to practice with the team and get back into the lineup.

Bastian (upper body) won't be in action against Boston on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian will miss his 10th consecutive game due to his upper-body issue, with no timeline from the team on when he might be ready to return. Given the bevy of other players dealing with injuries, the 20-year-old winger would certainly be able to log some minutes if he was healthy, but unfortunately is missing out on valuable NHL experience. The Ontario native will likely push for a spot on the 23-man roster during training camp ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, yet could still start the year in the minors.

Bastian (upper body) will not play in Sunday's game against the Avalanche, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 6-foot-4 winger has now missed eight straight contests, last suiting up on Mar. 1. With just one goal in his first four NHL games, his absence shouldn't affect too many fantasy owners.

Bastian (upper body) won't play Tuesday against the Flames, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian will miss a fifth consecutive game Wednesday and remains without a clear-cut timetable for his return to action. The 21-year-old rookie can be considered out indefinitely until the Devils release an update clarifying his status.

Bastian (upper body) won't play Friday against Washington or Saturday against the Rangers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bastian's absence will extend to four games, and the Devils have yet to release any details regarding a potential timetable for his return to game action. Once he's given the green light, the 21-year-old rookie will likely bounce Kurtis Gabriel or Kenny Agostino from the lineup.
