Zacha (illness) is expected to be back in the Devils lineup on Sunday.

Zacha missed the Devils' last game but was back on the ice for practice on Saturday and said he feels ready to play Sunday vs. St. Louis. Zacha will likely replace Jimmy Vesey in the lineup, as Vesey deals with an illness of his own.

Zacha (knee) will be back in the Devils lineup on Thursday.

Zacha has missed the last five games with a knee injury that he suffered on April 11th but will return to the lineup tonight in Pittsburgh. Zacha, who has three goals and three assists in his last five games, will return on a line with Nico Hischier.

Zacha (undisclosed) is expected to be back in the Devils lineup on Saturday.

Zacha was scratched after being listed as a game-time decision on Thursday but is expected to play in today's rematch vs. Pittsburgh. Zacha has had a nice campaign to-date, scoring seven goals with 10 assists (17 points) in 26 games. He will replace Nathan Bastian, who is now week-to-week with an injury of his own.

The Devils have re-signed Pavel Zacha to a three-year contract worth $6.75M ($2.25M AAV).

Zacha set a new career-high in goals (13) while matching his career-high in points (25) while playing just 61 games last season. Zacha is a player that the Devils use in all situations. He was third among New Jersey forwards in SH TOI/gm (2:11), ninth in PP TOI/gm (1:41) and 11th in EV TOI/gm (12:13).

The Devils have recalled Pavel Zacha from Binghamton (AHL).

Zacha struggled to start the season with New Jersey, failing to pick up a point in his first 10 games. Since being sent to Binghamton, the former No.6 overall pick had five assists in four games. Zacha has been brought back up because Brian Boyle has landed on IR.

The Devils assigned Pavel Zacha to Binghamton (AHL).

Zacha has not recorded a point in 10 games this season, so he heads to the AHL for the first time since 2015-16. Zacha has been a solid defensive centre for the Devils, but they were expecting to get more offence out of him when they picked him No.6 overall in 2015. His move to the AHL will allow him to play huge offensive minutes and try to re-discover that part of his game.
