Palat scored a shorthanded goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

This was Palat's second game back after he missed two contests due to a lower-body injury. He was able to snap an 11-game goal drought when he scored at 3:14 of the second period to give the Devils a 3-1 lead. The winger is up to 14 goals, 26 points, 87 shots on net, 113 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 69 appearances this season. He's often played in a middle-six role, but he's been on the top line recently, though he's more of a supporting scorer than a leader on offense.

EDGE Analysis

Palat snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. His top-six role looks safe following the trade deadline, as the Devils made most of their moves around the fringe of the roster rather than going for a big swing with Jack Hughes (shoulder) out for the season. Palat is now at 24 points, 80 shots on net, 105 hits, 48 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 62 appearances. He offers physicality and a little depth scoring, but his offense likely isn't enough on its own in standard fantasy formats.

EDGE Analysis
