Zacha (illness) is taking warmups ahead of Sunday's game against the Blues, which suggests that he's ready to return after sitting out Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha declared himself ready to play in Sunday's game after participating in practice Saturday, per Stein, and his participation in warmups confirms his readiness. The 24-year-old forward is warming up on the third line, as coach Lindy Ruff is likely looking to ease Zacha back in after deploying him primarily on the second line in recent games.
