Ready to return Palat (lower body) told reporters he was ready to play ahead of Thursday's clash with Carolina, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Palat slotted into a second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit at Wednesday's practice. Before his 10-game absence, Palat was struggling offensively with just one point in his previous nine contests during which he averaged 15:42 of ice time.

Begins skating Palat (lower body) has begun skating but is not ready to rejoin the team, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Monday.

Impact It's a step in the right direction for Palat, though he still has several hurdles to clear before he returns to the lineup. At this point, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting the veteran winger to return before the All-Star break, which would see him out of the lineup for at least the next three contests.

Return not imminent Palat (lower body) will be out for some time after coach Lindy Ruff told reporters Tuesday, "We don't expect back short-term," per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact Palat has already been out for three games due to his lower-body injury and should probably be considered out indefinitely at this point. In his last nine outings, the 32-year-old winger managed just one point while putting 18 shots on net. Nathan Bastian figures to see a top-six role with both Palat and Timo Meier (abdomen) on the shelf.

Impact Palat was a surprise scratch for Wednesday's contest versus the Capitals. Based on head coach Lindy Ruff's postgame comments, Palat shouldn't be expected to play in the Devils' upcoming back-to-back versus the Blackhawks and Canucks on Friday and Saturday, respectively. The winger's absence was covered by Colin Miller on Wednesday, but forward Graeme Clarke is also an option to enter the lineup during Palat's absence.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Wednesday Palat (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Capitals.

Impact Palat saw 15:15 of ice time in Saturday's game versus the Bruins, so it's unclear when he was hurt. The winger has just one goal on 18 shots over his last nine games. Graeme Clarke is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday, though it's unclear if the Devils will make any additional changes.

Impact Palat's tally in the third period cut the deficit to 4-3, but the Devils couldn't pull even. All three of his goals have come in the last seven games, and he's added two assists in that span. The 32-year-old winger is up to 11 points, 41 shots on net, 23 hits, 12 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 22 outings overall. Palat can chip in offense at a slightly higher rate than he's shown, but he hasn't topped the 50-point mark since 2016-17.

The veteran winger has four helpers (three on the power play) with 19 shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 12 contests. Despite his struggles, he should continue to see middle-six minutes.

Powers up with assist Palat earned a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact Palat was the secondary distributor on a timely Jack Hughes goal in the third period.
