Tatar agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Swiss club EV Zug on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar was headed to free agency this offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but he will make the early jump to Europe. Selected by the Red Wings in the second round of the 2009 NHL Draft, the 34-year-old winger has appeared in 927 NHL games for six different franchises, racking up 227 goals and 269 assists. At this point, Tatar's move likely will mark the end of his NHL career -- though he will almost certainly suit up for Slovakia at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Tatar (personal) will play against the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite sitting out Friday's practice, Tatar won't miss any game action. He has registered seven goals, 17 points, 64 shots on net and 54 hits in 69 appearances this season. He has supplied one goal and a helper in his past five outings.

Tatar won't participate in Friday's practice session due to personal reasons, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils noted that Tatar skated earlier Friday, but it's not yet clear whether his absence from practice will impact his status for Saturday's matchup against the Rangers. The 34-year-old has picked up points in two of his last four appearances, posting a goal, an assist, three hits and three blocked shots while averaging 12:49 of ice time across that span. If Tatar is unable to play Saturday, Nathan Bastian, Cody Glass (lower body) and Nolan Foote are candidates to enter the lineup.

Tatar scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar has two points over his last three games. The 34-year-old winger has largely been able to stay in the lineup even while the Devils have ample forward depth. He's got a bit of a scoring touch, which helps him stay in over more physical players, as the Devils have plenty of players throughout the lineup who play with an edge. Tatar is at 17 points, 63 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-1 rating through 68 appearances this season.

Tatar notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar ended a 10-game point drought with the helper on Nathan Bastian's first-period tally. During the slump, Tatar went minus-5 with 10 shots on net and 12 hits, and he was scratched once. The 34-year-old has 16 points, 62 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating over 66 appearances. He has minimal fantasy upside, especially in a fourth-line role that he's not guaranteed to hold onto for the rest of the campaign.

Tatar notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar has a goal and two assists over his last five contests. The 34-year-old winger hasn't been very consistent on offense this season, leading to him playing in a bottom-six role, but he remains in the lineup on a regular basis. He's collected 15 points, 52 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-3 rating over 55 appearances. There are better options available on the waiver wire in many fantasy formats.

Tatar scored a goal, went plus-2 and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar ended his seven-game goal drought with the tally. In that slump, he managed just one assist. The 34-year-old winger has often seen bottom-six minutes, though he was on the second line at even strength Sunday. Tatar is at 14 points, 50 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-4 rating across 53 appearances this season, so fantasy managers can likely find more productive players on the waiver wire in most circumstances.

Tatar recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The 34-year-old winger continues to handle a bottom-six role, offering modest depth scoring. He's produced 13 points, 48 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating over 51 appearances. He's behind the pace that yielded him 24 points over 70 contests in a down year in 2023-24, and with pedestrian non-scoring numbers, he's not much of an option for most fantasy managers.

Tatar scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar's offense has warmed up lately with three points over his last four games. The 34-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, so his recent gains in the scoring department could dry up quickly. He's at 12 points, 44 shots on net, 35 hits and a minus-1 rating over 45 appearances this season.

Tatar scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Tatar has gotten on the scoresheet in back-to-back games after being held without a point in 15 prior outings. The left-shot winger hadn't scored since Nov. 23 prior to Sunday. Tatar has not seen any power-play time over his last six outings while filling a spot on the fourth line. For the season, the 34-year-old is at four goals and 11 points through 43 appearances.
