Pavel Zacha News

Zacha was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Jacob Josefson in the lineup tonight vs. the Bruins. Zacha’s offensive numbers leave little to be desired at this point in his career—he has collected just two goals and five assists in 30 games this season.

Zacha has missed the last four games with a face injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight in St. Louis. Zacha, who is expected to centre the third line, has two goals and five assists (seven points) in 24 games this season.

Zacha was cut during Saturday’s win in Nashville and will miss his first game of the season on Tuesday. Zacha has picked up two goals and five assists (seven points) in 24 games this season—expect Zacha to be replaced by either Beau Bennett or Sergey Kalinin, who were both cleared to play on Monday.

Zacha, 19, was the Devils first round pick (6th overall) in 2015 and has finished up his second season with Sarnia. In 51 regular season games he collected 64 points (28G / 36A) and 13 points (6G / 7A) in seven playoff games. Look for him to make his NHL debut in the Devils’ season finale.

Zacha, 18, was the sixth overall pick in this summer’s draft, but was unable to crack the Devils opening night roster. Zacha heads back to the OHL, where he had 16 goals and 18 assists (34 points) in 37 games a season ago.
