Travis Zajac played the last period and a half on the first line between Zach Parise and Ilya Kovalchuk during Monday's loss in Carolina. However, the move was a spur of the moment alteration as Adam Henrique returned to the top unit at practice on Tuesday. Zajac wasn't surprised with being bumped back down to the third line because the trio didn't generate anything and he has performed well between Mattias Tedenby and David Clarkson since coming back from a torn Achilles tendon. He is still working his way back from that injury, but it shouldn't be too long before he is back in the Devils' top-six group.
