Marek Zidlicky was terrific for the Devils in the first game of the playoffs against the Panthers. He logged 24:07 of ice time, second on the Devils behind Ilya Kovalchuk, and anchored New Jersey's power play logging 8:16. "We've been relying on him a lot since he got here," Devils' coach Peter DeBoer said. "He's playing 23, 24, 25 minutes a night, moves the puck, he's a veteran guy, he's unflappable back there." We are gratified to see that our prediction of a Zidlicky rebound in New Jersey has proven accurate.
