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.

Lazar (upper body) will not be available Sunday against Nashville and could miss extended time, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. Lazar was injured Saturday against the Senators and logged just 6:38 of ice time with three hits and one shot. The 29-year-old has tallied seven goals and 25 points through 71 contests this season. It sounds like he'll miss at least a few games and is "likely" out for the remainder of the regular season. The team should have a clearer outlook on his status in the coming days.

Novak provided three assists, including an empty-net helper, in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs. After missing the last game with a lower-body injury, Lazar returned to his regular spot on the wing on the fourth line being centered by Chris Tierney. Although he only played 9:19 of ice time, Lazar produced a three-point game, his first of the season. He also finished with four hits and a plus-3 rating. The 29-year-old winger only has 24 points on the year and with his limited ice time, he is hard to trust as a fantasy starter.

Lazar (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Maple Leafs, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

His next chance to play will be Tuesday in Toronto.
