Meier will miss Wednesday's contest versus the Blues after being suspended Tuesday for one game, per the Department of Player Safety. Meier will his first game of the 2024-25 campaign as a result of cross-checking Nashville's Zachary L'Heureux in Monday's 5-2 victory. Nolan Foote should draw into the lineup Wednesday against St. Louis. Meier has accounted for seven goals, eight assists and a plus-8 rating through 24 appearances. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return to action in Detroit on Friday.

Meier will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for a crosscheck on the Predators' Zachary L'Heureux. Meier almost certainly will be given at least a one-game ban, so fantasy players should probably expect him to miss out versus the Blues on Wednesday. Despite averaging 3.78 shots over his last nine outings, the 28-year-old winger has scored just once over that stretch. If Meier does miss out as expected, Paul Cotter could be pressed into a second-line role against St. Louis and beyond.

Meier (back) will suit up in Thursday's clash with Carolina. Meier has managed just one point in his last six outings despite having racked up 20 shots over that stretch. WIth his injury concern behind him, Meier should remain in his spot on the Devils' first line while also seeing power-play minutes. Despite his recent slump, Meier should be capable of reaching the 50-point threshold for the third consecutive campaign.

Meier was not on the ice Tuesday while suffering from back spasms, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. Meier's absence, along with the placement of Nathan Bastian (jaw) on long-term injured reserve, would explain the Devils' decision to bring up three forward from the minors Monday. At this point, Meier should be considered questionable to face the Hurricanes on Thursday, though he does have some time to get back to 100 percent.

Meier scored a goal on four shots, blocked three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers. Meier's goal at 17:29 of the second period was the game-winner. The winger has been limited to two tallies over six contests in November, though it doesn't help that the Devils have been shut out twice this month. Overall, he has seven goals, 14 points, 52 shots on net, 37 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 19 games in a top-six role.
