Although Travis Zajac returned to the Devils lineup on December 16th, he isn't expected to fully recover from his torn Achilles tendon this season. "They said it was something they felt throughout the year and it usually takes a year to heal (completely)," Zajac said. "But, for the most part I feel good. Some days are better than others. If I continue to get the right rest and exercise and things like that, I'll be fine." Zajac still walks with a slight limp, but he doesn't have a problem when he's on the ice because of the support his skate provides. Zajac took Thursday's practice off and he's expected to continue to take off the occasion morning skate.
