SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • NHL.COM

Another down year in NJ Palat finished the 2023-24 season with 11 goals and 31 points in 71 appearances.

Impact Palat parlayed his strong play in Tampa Bay into a five-year, $30 million contract with the Devils in the 2022 offseason, but it's becoming more and more apparent that he was carried by playing alongside stars such as Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point in Tampa Bay. After nine consecutive seasons with at least 34 points for the Lightning, Palat has produced meager totals of 23 and 31 points in his first two years in New Jersey. At age 33, Palat's more likely to go down than up next year.

Playing against Blues Palat (lower body) will return to action versus St. Louis on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Palat figures to step into the first-line role being vacated by Tyler Toffoli, who is being held out of the lineup for trade reasons. In addition, the 32-year-old Palat should be back in a power-play role where he has recorded five of his 24 points this year.

Questionable for Thursday Palat (lower body) skated before Wednesday's practice, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. He remains questionable for Thursday's contest against St. Louis.

Impact Palat will skate again Thursday before a determination is made about his availability. He has nine goals, 24 points, 86 PIM and 72 hits in 51 contests this season. If Palat returns Thursday, then Kurtis MacDermid might be a healthy scratch.

Dealing with lower-body issue Palat will be out of action against the Panthers on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Palat's absence will see Jack Hughes shift to the wing in a second-line role alongside Erik Haula. Additionally, Alexander Holtz could see some added power-play opportunities with the second unit while Palat is sidelined. For his part, the 32-year-old Palat will be hard-pressed to get back over the 40-point threshold after also missing that mark last season, in part due to injuries that limited him to just 49 games.

MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined Tuesday Palat will be out tonight against the Panthers at home for undisclosed reasons, per James Nichols.

Impact Palat may get dealt before Friday's trade deadline as he's not out for injury-related reasons. He has recorded nine goals and 15 assists and has a tremendous amount of playoff experience winning a Stanley Cup with the Lightning. If traded the 32-year-old will look to add depth to any playoff contender as he's been in the league for 12 years.

Impact Palat was a game-time decision due to the illness, but he won't end up missing any playing time. He has eight goals and 20 points in 42 appearances in 2023-24. Palat is projected to serve on the first line alongside Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt on Thursday.

Impact Palat is seven games back from a lower-body injury that previously cost him the first 10 games of January. In those seven outings, the 32-year-old winger garnered three goals on 14 shots to go with three assists, 10 hits and eight blocks.

Impact Palat had gone two games without a point entering Tuesday. He helped out on a Nico Hischier equalizer early in the third period.

The winger has 20 points, 77 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-2 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Devils play the Hurricanes after Palat's 2-goal performance

The New Jersey Devils visit the Carolina Hurricanes after Ondrej Palat scored two goals in the Devils' 5-3 loss to the Calgary Flames

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • Associated Press

Three-game, five-point streak Palat scored two goals in a 5-3 loss to Calgary on Thursday.

Impact His first opened the scoring. It was a one-timer from the left face-off circle off a 2-on-1. His second was a deflection at the left point at 13:46 of the third to cut the score to 4-3. Palat is riding a three-game, five-point streak that includes three goals. His overall pace this season is average this season, but a streak is a streak. And you need to roll guys like him on and off your roster in order to win.

Grabs helper in win Palat collected an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Palat has three points over three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. He got a turn on the top line Tuesday with Tyler Toffoli (illness) out, but Palat is likely to be a middle-six presence once the Devils' forward group is at full strength again. Palat has 17 points, 68 shots on net, 39 hits, 27 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 38 appearances this season.

Impact He got the Devils first goal on a rebound following a Nico Hischier shot. He put it past Andrei Vasilevskiy's glove from the low slot. It's Palat's second game back after missing 10 games to a lower-body injury. He has five goals, nine assists and 63 shots in 36 games this season, his second with the Devils.

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.

JANUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Will miss time Palat (lower body) was injured in Tuesday's practice and is expected to miss a few more games, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

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, 2024 • 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.
