Comeau is a hard-working 27-year-old checking-line forward. With the Blue Jackets trading away multiple players to get Marian Gaborik, they needed to add some NHL capable bodies. He scored 24 goals in 2010-11 so he has the ability to score but as of right now he is not fantasy relevant.

Devils left wing Dainius Zubrus is on the ice practicing with the team.

Zubrus (wrist) has only appeared in nine games this season. He has been out for over a month and this is the first time he has skated with the team since getting hurt. Zubrus would help the Devils because of Ilya Kovalchuk's injury but he is not a good fantasy option.
