Devils' Nathan Bastian: Ends slump with assist

Bastian logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.

The helper was Bastian's first point in 16 games since he returned from a broken jaw. The 27-year-old winger has occupied a fourth-line spot during that stretch and has been a regular in the lineup despite the lack of offense. He's at six points, 24 shots on net, 27 PIM and 58 hits through 28 appearances this season.
