New Jersey coach Pete DeBoer is unsure when Travis Zajac will be ready to return from a torn left Achilles' tendon, but said that he should be back before Christmas. "It's a moving target, an Achilles' injury, but there's light at the end of the tunnel," DeBoer said. "I think he's going to be back here some time before Christmas. Could be in three or four weeks. Could be in five or six. But it's on the horizon here at least now." Zajac resumed skating last week and is rehabbing in Winnipeg. Stay tuned for updates on his recovery.
