Per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers, Lazar (knee) will not play in Columbus on Thursday, according to coach Sheldon Keefe. Lazar missed 21 games with a knee injury suffered Oct. 27 versus Anaheim, and returned to action Tuesday for the first time in 22 games. He did not come out of the game healthy as the Devils will likely shut him down until after the Christmas break. Lazar has a goal and an assist in 13 games with the Devils this season.

Lazar (knee) will play Tuesday against the Blues. Lazar has missed the past 21 games after undergoing knee surgery Oct. 31. The right-shot center will replace Justin Dowling on the fourth line. Before getting injured, Lazar chipped in a goal and an assist over 12 games.

Lazar (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Oct. 27. Lazar had already been ruled out indefinitely after undergoing a knee procedure at the end of October, so his move to injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. The Devils recalled Shane Bowers, Justin Dowling and Nolan Foote from AHL Utica on Monday, and they should help provide additional depth while Lazar is unavailable.

Lazar underwent a knee procedure Thursday and is out indefinitely. Lazar has a goal, two points and 36 hits in 12 appearances this season. He sustained the injury during Sunday's 6-2 win over Anaheim. Justin Dowling made his NHL season debut Wednesday and might remain in the lineup while Lazar is unavailable.

Lazar scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders. Lazar has earned two points over his last three games, accounting for all of his offense this season. The fourth-liner tied the game at 2-2 with his tally 5:31 into the second period Friday. Lazar has added eight shots on net, 34 hits, four PIM and a minus-1 rating through 11 appearances. His spot in the lineup looks secure for now, but his inconsistent offense is not something most fantasy managers will benefit from, though he is on track for the first 200-hit season of his career.
