Travis Zajac will have his Achilles examined in Winnipeg on Thursday. The New Jersey forward, who hails from Winnipeg, missed the first two-plus months of this season while recovering from surgery on an Achilles tendon. Zajac made his season debut on Dec. 16, but was again idled following a Jan. 2 game at Ottawa due to discomfort resulting from the procedure.
