Marek Zidlicky made his New Jersey debut on Sunday without having a full practice with his new teammates yet. However, he felt good about his performance and so did coach Pete DeBoer. "It was his first night, but again he came as advertised," DeBoer said. "I think that he's going to get better and better, like our team will get better and better." Zidlicky was paired with Anton Volchenkov in the contest and he posted one shot, two penalty minutes and a minus-2 rating in 19:37 of ice time. He also saw a whopping 5:12 of power-play time on the Devils' top unit.
