Top Ondrej Palat News

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Battling illness

    Palat (illness) will miss Wednesday's game against Boston.

    Palat has 10 goals, 19 points, 78 hits and 42 blocks in 48 outings in 2024-25. Kurtis MacDermid is likely to draw into the lineup due to Palat's absence while Paul Cotter moves into a first-line role.

    Palat scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Kraken. He also recorded three shots on goal and a hit.

    Although Palat was held off the scoresheet across his previous three appearances, the 33-year-old veteran has been trending in the right direction lately with three goals over his last six outings. Palat is arguably going through his most productive stretch of the campaign dating back to early December since he's registered nine points (six goals, three helpers) over his last 13 contests.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Available Saturday

    Palat (mouth) is good to play in Saturday's tilt against San Jose.

    Palat left Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Kings because of the injury, but he won't miss a full game. He has eight goals and 16 points in 40 appearances in 2024-25. Although he's averaged a modest 13:41 of ice time this season, Palat is projected to serve on the top line alongside Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt on Saturday.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Hurt late in loss

    Palat was bleeding after taking a high stick to the mouth in the third period of Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Kings, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Palat didn't return to the contest, but it happened late enough where he may simply not have had enough time to get back in the game. The 33-year-old winger put up nine points over 13 outings in December but was held off the scoresheet in the shutout loss. An update on his status should be available prior to Saturday's game versus the Sharks.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Providing consistency in December

    Palat scored a goal on four shots and logged three hits, two blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Carolina.

    Palat scored an even-strength goal early in the third period to put the Devils up 2-1, but Carolina responded with four goals of its own. The 33-year-old has tallied in back-to-back games, and he's found the scoresheet in three consecutive games and seven of his past nine. Palat has contributed eight goals, eight helpers and a plus-5 rating through 38 contests in 2024-25.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: On roll in December

    Palat scored his seventh goal of the season Friday in a 4-2 win over Carolina.

    Palat got his club on the board by tying the game at 1-1 late in the opening frame. The two-time Stanley Cup winner added two shots, two blocks, one hit and a plus-2 rating in 13:17 of ice time. The 33-year-old is having his best month of the season -- he has four goals and four helpers through 11 games in December after chipping in just three goals and seven points over the first two months of 2024-25. The left-shot winger is skating on the top line alongside Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt, and through 37 appearances, Palat is up to seven goals, 15 points and a plus-6 rating.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Pots another goal

    Palat scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

    Palat is riding a solid stretch of play of late with goals in three of his last four outings. Even though the 33-year-old veteran endured a slow start to the campaign, he's undoubtedly trending in the right direction now. He should continue to find opportunities to produce due to his top-six role in the lineup.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Two-point effort Thursday

    Palat produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

    The veteran winger opened the scoring for the Devils by tipping home a Jack Hughes shot from close range late in the second period. Palat has found a groove while skating on New Jersey's top line, and over the last six contests, he's picked up two goals and five points -- an impressive surge for a player who managed just three goals and six points in his first 25 appearances this season.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Nets lone goal in loss

    Palat scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Palat's goal was the only one of 39 shots from New Jersey that got past Anthony Stolarz. This was Palat's first tally since Nov. 12, and he had just three helpers over 11 games between goals. The veteran winger remains in a top-six role at even strength on paper, producing nine points, 37 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-3 rating over 30 appearances. In reality, his average ice time is 13:31, which is in line with middle-six usage at best.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Sends helper Saturday

    Palat provided an assist and three hits in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Capitals.

    Palat chipped in four points, 15 shots on net, 26 hits and 11 blocked shots over 14 outings in November. The 33-year-old winger continues to see top-six usage at even strength with little power-play time. He's up to seven points, 31 shots, 47 hits and a minus-4 rating over 26 appearances this season, so his fantasy value is limited to deep formats.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Notches assist in win

    Palat provided an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

    Palat's helper was his first since Oct. 27, though he had three goals over nine contests in between assists. The 33-year-old winger remains in a middle-six role, one that's led to somewhat limited contributions. He's at six points, 28 shots on net, 35 hits and a minus-4 rating through 21 appearances. Palat is out of the mix for power-play time, so his path to producing steady offense is a tough one.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Fills empty cage

    Palat scored an empty-net goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

    Palat has three tallies over his last seven games. The 33-year-old winger has filled a middle-six role for much of the campaign, but he's struggled to be consistent on offense. He has five points, 26 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-5 rating. Palat is likely to be a depth scorer at best while adding some grit to the lineup.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Emerging from slump

    Palat scored a goal on four shots and delivered two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Palat accepted a feed from Jack Hughes and beat Montreal's Sam Montembeault glove side. After going pointless over the first seven games, Palat is heating up. Three of his four points this season have come in the five games since being moved to the second line with Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Tallies in Wednesday's win

    Palat scored a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

    Palat stretched the Devils' lead to 4-0 in the second period with his first tally of the campaign. The 33-year-old seems to be heating up with three points over his last five games, which accounts for all of his offense so far. 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: Picks up assist in win

    Palat notched an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.

    Palat hasn't done much on offense this season, earning two assists over 11 appearances. The winger had a season-high 13:53 of ice time Sunday, so while he's been listed on the second line, he's functioning more as a bottom-six option. He's added 11 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-7 rating, and without more offense, he won't have much appeal in fantasy.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Returns to ice

    Palat (personal) was a participant at practice Tuesday morning, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

    Palat missed Saturday's contest against Buffalo due to the birth of his second child. The two-time Stanley Cup winner will slot in on New Jersey's third line while being a special teams contributor now that he is back with the team. Palat produced 31 points in 71 regular-season games with New Jersey in 2023-24.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Not playing Saturday

    Palat (personal) won't be in the lineup Saturday versus Buffalo.

    Palat will sit out the contest due to the birth of his second child. He earned one shot on goal in 13:46 of ice time during New Jersey's season-opening 4-1 win over the Sabres on Friday. Palat will be replaced in Saturday's lineup by Kurtis MacDermid.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Another down year in NJ

    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 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.

  • Devils' Ondrej Palat: Playing against Blues

    Palat (lower body) will return to action versus St. Louis on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Palat figures to step into the first-line role being vacated by Tyler Toffoli, who is being held out of the lineup for trade-related reasons. In addition, the 32-year-old Palat should be back in a power-play role where he has recorded five of his 24 points this year.
