Palat picked up two assists Saturday in a 4-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Palat recorded his first points in six games to give him seven (two goals, five assists) in 32 contests this season. The 34-year-old winger is on pace for fewer than 20 points. That would be the lowest seasonal production of Palat's career. Last season, he delivered just 28 points, including 15 goals, in 77 games.

Palat scored a goal in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Palat snapped an 11-game goal drought with the tally. During that span, he was limited to two assists, both of which came against the Sabres on Friday. Palat is up to five points, 29 shots, 44 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 26 outings in a middle-six role. The 34-year-old's lack of offense has reached a new low this year, so most fantasy managers would benefit from looking elsewhere for depth wingers.

Palat dished out two assists and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-0 shutout win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Palat had a hand in both of the goals scored by linemate Arseny Gritsyuk. With the pair of helpers, Palat has three assists, four points, 26 shots on net, 43 hits and 21 blocks through 24 games this season. His points in Friday's win marked his first time on the scoresheet since Nov. 6. Despite the lack of points, he's amassed a solid amount of category coverage while skating on New Jersey's second line.

Palat scored his first goal of the season in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran winger had just one lonely assist through his first 13 games of the season, but Palat finally got off the schneid by slotting home a nifty no-look pass from Simon Nemec midway through the second period. Palat has scored double-digit goals during each of the last five seasons in which he's played at least 50 games, including 15 goals and 28 points in 77 regular-season contests in 2024-25.

Palat notched a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Palat has started the year in a familiar role, working as a top-six option despite limited minutes overall. He's averaging just 13:18 of ice time per game over three contests, adding an assist, two shots on net, five hits and five blocked shots. Palat could remain alongside Jack Hughes for a while, as Evgenii Dadonov (hand) landed on long-term injured reserve Sunday and Stefan Noesen (groin) is expected to be out until at least late October.

Palat secured an assist and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Carolina in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Palat has registered an assist in back-to-back games. The veteran winger was credited with the primary assist on Nico Hischier's third goal of the series early in the middle frame. Palat has 154 games of playoff experience in his 13-year career, so he could receive a hefty workload in an elimination scenario in Game 5, which will be in Raleigh on Tuesday. Palat has two helpers and a plus-3 rating while averaging 15:57 of ice time through four postseason contests.

Palat notched an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Palat ended a four-game point drought with the helper. The 34-year-old winger is filling a top-six role on paper, though his 22:42 of ice time Friday was by far his highest in three playoff outings. He's added three shots on net, 11 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating this postseason. Even if Palat stays on the top line, he's there for his overall play rather than just his scoring.

Palat (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Game 1 in Carolina on Sunday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Palat was hurt blocking a shot against Boston on Tuesday and missed Wednesday's season finale against Detroit. The 34-year-old had 15 goals and 13 helpers over 77 regular-season games. He is expected to see third-line action in the opening round of the playoffs.

Palat was injured blocking a shot Tuesday versus the Bruins, but his X-rays returned negative. He won't play Wednesday versus the Red Wings, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils have nothing to gain in the standings, so Palat being out Wednesday makes sense. His status for Game 1 versus the Hurricanes in the playoffs is yet to be determined. Curtis Lazar or Daniel Sprong would be top candidates to play Wednesday in Palat's absence.

Palat scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Palat tipped home a Cody Glass attempt for the Devils' second goal, though their offense stalled out after that play. With three points over his last seven contests, Palat is adding a big of depth scoring while seeing middle-six usage. He's up to 15 goals, 13 assists, 94 shots on net, 124 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 75 outings this season, though he has moved around the lineup at times.
