bags two apples Friday Bastian recorded a pair of assists in a 4-1 win versus the Sabres on Friday.

Impact Bastian was limited to just 54 regular-season games for the Devils last year, logging just 12 points along the way. Even with his strong performance in the season opener, the 26-year-old winger's ceiling likely remains in the 20-25 point range, in part due to his bottom-six role. If he were to force his way into more responsibilities, including a power-play assignment, perhaps Bastian could push for a higher point total.

Plays mostly on special teams Bastian skated just 8:27 TOI in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers, recording one shot and one blocked shot.

Impact The majority of Bastian's ice time came on special teams, as he logged 1:40 on the power play and 2:43 shorthanded. His role on the second power-play unit can give Bastian an inkling of fantasy relevance at times, but a minuscule fourth-line role at even strength makes it tough for the 25-year-old winger to score consistently. Bastian's currently mired in a six-game point drought, which has him stuck on one goal and one assist this season.
