Todd Cordell: He's back: Travis Zajac will return today as the Devils take on the Pens

ooops i may have accidentally hit the report button

anyways, great to see zajac is back and the line combos look good, and balanced

pitts will come out hard after getting beat 8-4 last night, hopefully we will have an extra push and have more energy as we didnt play last night and zajac comes back

if we can handle the 1st wave of pressure that the pens will try to make at puck drop then the game will be hard fought

i expect a much better showing than last week

Devils win 3-1

Zajac with an A in his return.


(Just for you Dmars )

lets go devils

Great to see Kovalchuk and Zajac back together that duo produced alot last year even though missing the playoffs Zajac setup Kovalchuk for ALOT of GWG in that 2nd half push I think it was something like 15 in 22 games just going off memory but it was close to that if not spot on , and Poni works hard out there and has consistantly produced offense since joining the club and has been doing it on the 3rd/4th line this could be a very dangerous line with Zajacs return it really gives the team a very nice 4 lines to roll out and could potentially score , I am very excited for tonight Marty needs to be sharp .

I like the look of the current lines. Hopefully this'll put some new life back into the guys.

Big game tonight. Need to right the ship and start playing good hockey again. I'm excited to see Zajac back in action i hope hes ready this time.

Me too, I have been looking forward to having a relatively healthy team. We have four decent lines.

lets go devils!!!

well that start sucked

Marty needs a few games off....

Brutal...

I've seen that the Devils just want to come in and slow the pace down and when the other team doesn't budge and wants to quicken the pace, we have problems. It's been happening lately a lot.

maybe the goalies should stay in the crease

Odd goals.

Really? He's been playing extremely well lately.

I was about to comment how it's usually Fluery handling the puck poorly...

We want to play fast on offense but not on defense. Can't have it both ways.

no...that's just my usual "irritated so blame the goalie" hate speech coming out...

Drat, I should have known better.

That one was all on Marty though. Nobody else to blame really.

it could have been a 3 on 0 breakaway...and I would still have blamed him...plus I'm watching the Pitt feed (as a test of mental fortitude)......it's not working...will probably have to switch soon

4 straight passes that hit the back of other Devils' skates.

I'd rather not watch the game if I was forced into the Pitt feed.

One thing I don't like about that new Elias line is that there aren't any righty's on it.
