Tatar won't participate in Friday's practice session due to personal reasons, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
The Devils noted that Tatar skated earlier Friday, but it's not yet clear whether his absence from practice will impact his status for Saturday's matchup against the Rangers. The 34-year-old has picked up points in two of his last four appearances, posting a goal, an assist, three hits and three blocked shots while averaging 12:49 of ice time across that span. If Tatar is unable to play Saturday, Nathan Bastian, Cody Glass (lower body) and Nolan Foote are candidates to enter the lineup.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Adds insurance tally
Rotowire
Tatar scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
Tatar has two points over his last three games. The 34-year-old winger has largely stayed in the lineup even while the Devils have ample forward depth. He's got a bit of scoring touch, which helps him stay in over more physical players, as the Devils have plenty of players throughout the lineup who play with an edge. Tatar is at 17 points, 63 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-1 rating through 68 appearances this season.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Contributes assist
Rotowire
Tatar notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Tatar ended a 10-game point drought with the helper on Nathan Bastian's first-period tally. During the slump, Tatar went minus-5 with 10 shots on net and 12 hits, and he was scratched once. The 34-year-old has 16 points, 62 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating over 66 appearances. He has minimal fantasy upside, especially in a fourth-line role that he's not guaranteed to hold onto for the rest of the campaign.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Plucks apple in win
Rotowire
Tatar notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over Utah.
Tatar has a goal and two assists over his last five contests. The 34-year-old winger hasn't been very consistent on offense this season, leading to him playing in a bottom-six role, but he remains in the lineup on a regular basis. He's collected 15 points, 52 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-3 rating over 55 appearances. There are better options available on the waiver wire in many fantasy formats.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Finds twine Sunday
Rotowire
Tatar scored a goal, went plus-2 and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Predators.
Tatar ended his seven-game goal drought with the tally. In that slump, he managed just one assist. The 34-year-old winger has often seen bottom-six minutes, though he was on the second line at even strength Sunday. Tatar is at 14 points, 50 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-4 rating across 53 appearances this season, so fantasy managers can likely find more productive players on the waiver wire in most circumstances.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Logs assist in win
Rotowire
Tatar recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.
Tatar ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The 34-year-old winger continues to handle a bottom-six role, offering modest depth scoring. He has produced 13 points, 48 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-2 rating over 51 appearances. He's behind the pace that yielded him only 24 points over 70 regular-season contests in 2023-24, and with pedestrian non-scoring numbers, he's not much of an option for most fantasy managers.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Tallies Saturday
Rotowire
Tatar scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Tatar's offense has warmed up lately with three points over his last four games. The 34-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role, so his recent gains in the scoring department could dry up quickly. He's at 12 points, 44 shots on net, 35 hits and a minus-1 rating over 45 appearances this season.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Suiting up Friday
Rotowire
Tatar (lower body) will be in the lineup to face Seattle on Friday, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.
Tatar returns following a two-game absence due to his lower-body injury. Prior to his absence, the veteran winger was finding his offensive stride with four points in his last five outings, including a pair of power-play points.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Unavailable Monday
Rotowire
Tatar (lower body) won't play Monday versus the Rangers, according to the Devils' official site.
Tatar will miss his second straight game but could return Friday versus Seattle. He has three goals, nine points, 26 shots on net and 24 hits in 26 appearances this season.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Unavailable Saturday
Rotowire
Tatar (lower body) will miss Saturday's tilt against Washington, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
Tatar suffered the injury during Friday's 5-4 win over Detroit. He's regarded as day-to-day, so the 33-year-old might still be an option for Monday's game against the Rangers. In the meantime, Shane Bowers will draw into the lineup versus the Capitals.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Sustains lower-body injury
Rotowire
Tatar won't return to Friday's tilt against Detroit because of a lower-body injury.
Tatar logged just 3:04 of ice time Friday, though he did register an assist before departing, which brings him up to nine points (three goals) through 26 appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play Saturday versus Washington, then Shane Bowers will probably draw back into the lineup.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Two points in win
Rotowire
Tatar scored a goal on the man advantage and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.
Tatar scored his first power-play goal of the season to tie the game at 1-1 in the opening frame, and he registered the primary helper on Brenden Dillon's first goal of 2024-25 in the second frame. Tatar added two shots, one block, and a plus-1 rating in a team-low 9:30 of ice time. The 33-year-old has points in back-to-back games, but his fourth-line role will limit his path to consistent offensive production. Tatar has accounted for three goals, five assists and a plus-2 rating through 23 games.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Ends drought with helper
Rotowire
Tatar notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
The helper was Tatar's first point over nine games in November. The 33-year-old winger remains in a fourth-line role at even strength with just sporadic power-play usage. He's produced six points, 22 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-1 rating over 22 outings, a pace that would have him fall short of the 30-point mark for the second straight year. There are better options available in most fantasy formats.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Notches two points Saturday
Rotowire
Tatar registered a goal, an assist and four shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over Washington.
Tatar has his first points since returning to the Devils on a one-year, $1.8 million contract during the offseason. The 33-year-old winger hasn't seen much NHL action over the last two seasons, but he could be in line for a renaissance if he can stick on the second line with Nico Hischier and Dawson Mercer.

Devils' Tomas Tatar: Pens one-year contract
Rotowire
Tatar signed a one-year, $1.8 million contract with New Jersey on Tuesday.
Tatar accounted for nine goals, 24 points and 72 shots on net in 70 regular-season contests between Seattle and Colorado in 2023-24. He played for the Devils for two campaigns before signing with the Avalanche, which includes a 20-goal and 48-point showing over 82 regular-season outings in 2022-23. However, he is unlikely to reach those marks in 2024-25 as a depth forward for New Jersey.
