Line Change
Kovalchuk is in New Jersey, skating with Zajac and Zubrus.
Kovalchuk is the source of offense for the Devils now with Parise gone. Look for Zajac to pile up the assists on Kovalchuk goals. Zajac isn't ranked very high on any fantasy sites. He could be a nice sleeper.

Seems like Zajac could return to the lineup tomorrow and center Kovalchuk. He has a goal and three points in eight games.
DeBoer said Zajac remains "day to day" and "we're not going to rush it."
No surprise as Zajac didn't skate on one of the top four lines this morning. The former top liner hopes to get back in the lineup by the end of the regular season.
