Curtis Lazar News

Lazar was dealt to the Devils at the trade deadline for a 2024 fourth-round pick and will make his Devils' debut Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old had three goals, five points, 54 SOG and 14 PIMs across 45 games with Vancouver prior to being dealt.

Lazar missed the Canucks last six games with a lower-body injury. He has just two goals and three assists in 45 games this season. He'll likely slot into the Devils' bottom-six and should see some time on the penalty-kill.

Lazar has missed the last 10 games with an undisclosed injury but is set to play in the Canucks' bottom-6 on Friday. LAzar had one goal in seven games before getting hurt on October 24th.

Lazar was placed on the injured reserve Wednesday with an undisclosed injury. He is the fourth Canuck player to hit the IR this week. Through seven games in 2022-23, he has one goal and six shots while playing 14:51 ATOI centering the Canucks fourth line.

Lazar is day-to-day with an upper-body injury that he suffered early in Thursday's game win Seattle. The Bruins have not decided who will replace Lazar on the fourth line but it will be either Anton Blidh or Jesper Froden.

The Bruins are already postponed through the Christmas break, so moving Lazar likely doesn't change much for his status.

Lazar missed the first four games of the season with an upper-body injury but will play Wednesday in Florida. Lazar, who had four points (2G / 2A) in 17 games with the Bruins last year, will skate on the fourth line.

Lazar was acquired from the Sabres on Sunday and will be a game-time decision for his Bruins' debut on Tuesday. Lazar centred the fourth line with Sean Kuraly and Chris Wagner in the morning skate.

Lazar has not played since March 31st due to a lower-body injury but will likely serve as a fourth-line option in Boston once he's healthy. Lazar doesn't provide much offensive but was very solid in Buffalo's bottom-6 this year.

Lazar suffered a lower-body injury shortly after scoring his fifth goal of the season on Wednesday and will miss at least a few weeks. With Lazar coming out of the lineup on Thursday, Rasmus Asplund will draw back into the lineup.

Lazar split his 2020 season between the AHL and NHL, totalling 10 points (5G / 5A) in 38 games with the Sabres. Lazar has never lived up to the hype of being a top-20 draft pick but he seems to have settled in in the Sabres' bottom-6. Expect him to centre the third or fourth line behind Jack Eichel and Eric Staal in 2021.

There is no word who will replace Lazar on Tuesday because the Sabres often go with 11 forward and seven defensemen, so that could be the strategy tonight.
