EDGE Analysis

Zajac will get back into action after just one game on the sidelines. Prior to getting hurt, the center notched points in back-to-back games. The Winnipeg native figures to slot into a third-line center role, in addition to reclaiming his spot on the power play where he is averaging 4:04 of ice time.
