Travis Zajac enjoyed a two-point night in the New Jersey Devils' 4-0 blanking of the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of their opening-round series Thursday. Battling back from an Achilles tendon tear, the young center endured a curtailed season, putting up six points in 15 games. He's showing his importance now, though, as his goal and assist give him four points in these playoffs. Zach Parise scored his second of the postseason in the second. New Jersey potted three goals in the third period: the first one by Steve Bernier and Zajac's came 96 seconds apart. Ilya Kovalchuk also found the twine, with his second of the playoffs on the power play. Bryce Salvador had two assists, while David Clarkson had an assist, 12 penalty minutes and was a plus-one.
