He was listed on the Devils' second line Wednesday, but he saw just 11:24 of ice time. For the season, the veteran winger has added 16 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-6 rating over 12 appearances.

Devils' Ondrej Palat: Another down year in NJ
Ondrej Palat finished the 2023-24 season with 11 goals and 31 points in 71 appearances.Palat parlayed his strong play in Tampa Bay into a five-year, $30 million contract with the New Jersey Devils in the 2021-22 offseason, but it's becoming more and more apparent that he was likely 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.

Ondrej Palat will be out of action against the Panthers on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury, Amanda Stein of the New Jersey Devils' official site reports.Palat's absence will see Jack Hughes shift to the wing in a second-line role alongside Erik Haula.
