Ondrej Palat News
New Jersey Devils left wing Ondrej Palat missed the morning skate with an illness and will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Los Angeles. The 32-year-old has struggled to stay in the lineup all season and could be absent again. He recently returned from a lower-body injury. Palat has played well since returning to action, but he can't be happy about his overall contributions. Across 42 outings this season, the veteran winger has tallied only eight goals and 20 points. Chris Tierney filled in for Palat on the top line during the morning skate.
New Jersey Devils forward Ondrej Palat (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup Thursday on the road against the Carolina Hurricanes. The veteran has missed the last 10 games with his injury after getting hurt in a 5-2 loss versus the Boston Bruins on Dec. 30. "It feels great, finally, to get out there and skate with the team," Palat said after Wednesday's practice. It's been a down season offensively for the former Lightning winger, as he has just five goals and 14 points through 35 games in his second season in New Jersey. It's the third time in four seasons he has missed notable time with an injury, as he appeared in just 49 games last season, posting 23 points in that time. He skated on a line with Tyler Toffoli and Dawson Mercer on Wednesday.
New Jersey Devils left wing Ondrej Palat (lower body) isn't close to returning to action. He's been on the shelf for three games already and isn't out "short-term," according to Devils head coach Lindy Ruff. The injury is a further source of disappointment for Palat, who's struggled to make an impact in 2023-24. In 35 appearances, he's only picked up five goals and nine assists. His current scoring pace of 0.40 points per game is his worst in 11 seasons. With Jack Hughes (upper body) and Timo Meier (abdomen) also out, the Devils' top six currently looks very different compared to the usual setup. Erik Haula has started to feature heavily, while Nathan Bastian also saw time on the first line Saturday against Vancouver.
New Jersey Devils left wing Ondrej Palat (lower body) was unavailable for Wednesday's clash against Washington and is expected to miss a few more games. A lower-body injury sustained in practice kept Palat out of action for the first time this season. The long-time Lightning winger has struggled for most parts in 2023-24, posting only five goals in 35 games and settling for 14 points. Dawson Mercer replaced him on the second line Wednesday and had a terrific outing with two goals.
