Travis Zajac continued to skate on the Devils' third line during Friday's practice. Zajac got some playing time with Zach Parise and Ilya Kovalchuk on Monday, but his stint on the first line has proven to be short lived. Adam Henrique was superb in Zajac's absence and he's been just as good since Zajac's return, which has made it easy for the Devils to ease him into their lineup. That being said, while Zajac is a top-six quality forward, it's hard to see how he fits into one of the Devils' top two lines, unless they shift Patrik Elias back to the left wing.
