New Jersey Devils forward Curtis Lazar could miss the remainder of the season due to an upper-body injury. The veteran was injured during the second period of a 4-3 win against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. With the Devils set to miss the postseason, Lazar's 2023-24 campaign could be over altogether. "He's not great," interim head coach Travis Green said on Sunday. "I don't know if we'll see Lazar for the rest of the regular season." Lazar is enjoying his best offensive season of his 10-season NHL career with seven goals and a career-high 25 points across 71 games and 12:23 of average ice time per game.
New Jersey Devils center Curtis Lazar (lower body) will jump back into action Tuesday versus the Islanders. He's returning from a one-game absence, replacing Erik Haula (undisclosed). Lazar has been limited to 12 minutes per game this season, logging all five of his points during a six-game stretch at the beginning of this month. He could see a few extra minutes in a third-line role on Tuesday, but fantasy managers should have much better options available to them.
