Palat undergoing groin surgery is a tough loss for the Devils after it was announced he would be out 8-10 weeks due to recovery. Since being acquired in the offseason by the Devils, the 31-year-old had three goals off eight shots in six games played while averaging 18:43 ATOI.

Palat spent the first 10 years of his career with the Tampa Bay Lightning after being a seventh-round pick in 2011. Palat is a good complimentary top-6 winger that can play with either Jack Hughes or Nico Hischier in New Jersey. Over the last three seasons, he's averaged 20 goals and 35 assists (55 points) per 82 games.

Palat missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but will be back in the lineup when the Lighting host the Devils on Thursday. This is good timing for the Lightning, as they will be without Nikita Kucherov, who was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday.
