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. With Tatar back in action, he figures to step into a third-line role playing alongside Erik Haula and Dawson Mercer.

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.

Tatar scored a goal in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.

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.

Kraken's Tomas Tatar: Garners helper Saturday
Rotowire
Tatar notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars.
Tatar had been scratched for seven of the previous eight games as the Kraken gave some of their prospects a look at the NHL level. He had gone without a point in his last seven appearances before snapping the drought on a Kailer Yamamoto tally in the third period. Tatar's Kraken tenure started strong but has fizzled out quickly. He has 23 points, 69 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-7 rating over 68 appearances between the Kraken and the Avalanche this season.

Rotowire
Tatar produced an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Rotowire
Tatar notched an assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

The 33-year-old winger is at 16 points, 46 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-7 rating through 42 contests between the Avalanche and the Kraken this season.

Tatar has slowed down with just two points over his last seven contests after beginning his Kraken tenure with four points across four games.

Kraken's Tomas Tatar: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Tatar scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
Tatar snapped a three-game slump, converting on a pass from Jordan Eberle in the second period. Through eight games with the Kraken, Tatar has three goals and two assists, which is over half the production he posted in 27 outings with the Avalanche to begin the season (nine points). The winger has added 33 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-4 rating, but it's clear he's fit in much better on Seattle's top line while playing in an offense that's more balanced than Colorado's.

Kraken's Tomas Tatar: Pair of points in win
Rotowire
Tatar scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-2, added three hits and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Tatar has four points over four contests with the Kraken. He and Vince Dunn assisted on each other's goals in this contest. Considering he had just nine points across 27 outings with the Avalanche, it's safe to say Tatar has benefited from his change of scenery. The winger has added 26 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-3 rating through 31 appearances this season. He'll likely remain on the top line for the Kraken, while Jared McCann figures to slot onto the second line.
