Travis Zajac's return to the lineup from an Achilles tendon injury during the late stages of the regular season has helped the Devils tremendously in their run to the Stanley Cup Finals. "To get him back was like making a blockbuster trade and not having to give up anything for him," said New Jersey defenseman Bryce Salvador. "To get a No. 1 center back right when you're making a run, you can't put a value on it and it didn't take him too long to get back to form." Zajac had only six points in 15 games because of an injury-shortened season, but he has been a significant contributor in the playoffs with seven goals and 12 points in 18 contests.
