Opens scoring in win Bastian scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Bastian was scratched Monday versus the Canucks, but he got back in the lineup with Cody Glass (undisclosed) sidelined. The 27-year-old Bastian has been a regular in the Devils' lineup, but the team also has 15 healthy forwards on the roster, so he may sit out on occasion down the stretch. He's at four goals, 10 points, 43 shots on net, 122 hits, 29 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 54 outings this season.

Delivers assist in win Bastian notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over Utah.

Impact Bastian helped out on a Curtis Lazar goal in the third period. The helper was Bastian's first point since his Jan. 29 goal against the Flyers. The 27-year-old winger remains a regular on the Devils' fourth line, but he's more of a physical force than a scorer. He's up to nine points, 37 shots on net, 97 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 43 appearances this season.

Buries power-play goal Bastian scored a power-play goal and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Flyers.

Impact Bastian has not often seen power-play time this year, but he looks to have a chance now while Nico Hischier (upper body) is out. Hischier's injury caused some shuffling on the Devils' power-play units, with Bastian checking in on the second unit while Ondrej Palat gets a larger role with the first unit. That gives Bastian a bit more upside in deep fantasy formats, but he has just eight points with 31 shots on net, 73 hits and 27 PIM across 35 appearances this season.

Good to play Wed Bastian (undisclosed) is slated to play Wednesday versus Philadelphia.

Impact Bastian left Monday's 4-2 loss to Philadelphia, but it seems he won't miss a full game due to the injury. He has two goals, seven points, 27 PIM and 70 hits in 34 appearances in 2024-25. Bastian is projected to play on the fourth line alongside Kurtis MacDermid and Curtis Lazar.

Injured Monday Bastian suffered an undisclosed injury Monday versus the Flyers, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Bastian was on the receiving end of a big hit from Philadelphia's Nick Seeler in the middle frame of Monday's 4-2 loss. Bastian did not return for the remainder of the game. Head coach Sheldon Keefe did not have an update on Bastian's status, so the 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's rematch with the Flyers.

Nabs helper in loss Bastian logged an assist and three hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Bastian has two helpers over his last three games after going 16 contests without a point. The physical winger has maintained steady fourth-line minutes since returning from a broken jaw he suffered in early November. He's at seven points, 62 hits, 27 PIM, 26 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 30 appearances.

Impact The helper was Bastian's first point in 16 games since he returned from a broken jaw.

No points since return Bastian has not gotten on the scoresheet over 15 games since he returned from a broken jaw that cost him 16 contests.

Impact Bastian's overall drought is at 16 games, a span in which he has 39 hits, 13 shots on net and 23 PIM. The 27-year-old is a physical fourth-line winger, so a lack of offense isn't out of the ordinary. He has five points, 56 hits, 27 PIM, 24 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 27 outings overall. Without better scoring numbers, Bastian won't be much of an impact player in fantasy.

Impact Bastian will occupy a bottom-six role after missing the last 16 games. He has registered two goals, three assists, 11 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 19 hits across 12 appearances this campaign. With Bastian back, Nathan Legare will come out of the lineup.

On Monday, the Devils also moved Curtis Lazar (knee) to injured reserve while recalling Shane Bowers, Justin Dowling, Nolan Foote and Nick DeSimone from AHL Utica.

Set to miss time Bastian (jaw) will be out for "several weeks", Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Bastian left Friday's game against the Flames following a fight with Ryan Lomberg, and it now appears that the winger could be in for an extended absence. The 26-year-old Bastian had gotten off to a nice start this season, tallying two goals and five points in his first 12 games. Kurtis MacDermid figures to take over on the Devils' fourth line in Bastian's absence.

Sustains jaw injury Bastian (jaw) won't return to Friday's game versus the Flames.

Impact Bastian was presumably injured after taking a beating in a fight with Ryan Lomberg in the first period. The 26-year-old Bastian racked up two hits and 17 PIM in this contest. If he's forced to miss time, the Devils have a similar player to replace him on the fourth line in Kurtis MacDermid. An update on Bastian's status should be available prior to Monday's game in Edmonton.

Puts up helper Wednesday Bastian logged an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

Impact Bastian was scratched for each of the previous two games, but he drew back in on the fourth line Wednesday. The 26-year-old forward has five points, 11 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-1 rating through 11 contests this season. His recent stint in the press box proves he's not a lock for the lineup, but he's had a strong start to the campaign as a physical presence and depth scorer. Still, as a fourth-liner, he won't offer much of an impact in fantasy.
