  4D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Devils' Curtis Lazar: Finds twine Friday

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

  Lazar logged an assist and six hits in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Lightning. Lazar got on the scoresheet when he set up linemate Nathan Bastian's third-period tally. The 29-year-old Lazar looks to be cemented in a fourth-line role, and the bulk of his statistical production will come from hits. Through nine contests, he has a helper, six shots on net, 26 hits and four PIM while averaging 11:22 of ice time.

  Lazar (upper body) is healthy at training camp Thursday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. Lazar is expected to be a fourth-line winger with the Devils. He had the best offensive season in his career in 2023-24, scoring seven goals and adding 18 assists in 71 games, as New Jersey failed to make the playoffs. Look for a 20-25 point season from Lazar in 2024-25.
