Zacha (lower body) is on the ice for warmups ahead of Friday's game aginst the Maple Leafs, indicating he will sit out the contest, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha picked up an injury during morning skate that will ultimately prevent him from suiting up. Kevin Rooney will replace him in the lineup, while Zacha will have to wait to add to the three points he tallied in the two games prior to the holiday break.

Zacha will be a game-time call versus Toronto on Friday after suffering an undisclosed injury during the morning skate, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha ended a 24-game goal drought with his tally versus the Blackhawks on Monday. The Czech has notched three points in his last two outings and appears to be finding his scoring touch of late. If the center is unable to suit up, Kevin Rooney figures to take his spot as the fourth-line center.

Zacha had a goal, an assist and three shots in Monday's 7-1 blowout win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha added two PIM and a plus-2 rating to round out his stat line. The Czech center has 16 points, 43 shots and a minus-14 rating in 33 contests this season. He's produced 25 points in each of the last two campaigns, but the 22-year-old should approach the 30-point mark in 2019-20.

Zacha had an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha's helper came on the Devils' first goal, scored by Jesper Bratt at 2:45 of the first period. Zacha has produced modest offense this season, with 12 points, 35 shots on goal and a minus-14 rating through 26 games. The 22-year-old has only scored twice this year, but he's almost halfway to his career high of 25 points, which he has achieved in each of the last two campaigns.

Zacha registered an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 defeat to Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

While fantasy owners will likely appreciate the assist, Zacha failed to register a shot, which is certainly not going to help him break out of his 16-game goalless streak. The Czech seems locked into a third-line role and figures to continue providing mid-range fantasy value the rest of the year.

Zacha notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha's fifth assist of the year came on a Nikita Gusev goal in the second period. The helper gives him seven points through 13 games. The Czech forward has added 20 shots on goal. His second-line role alongside Jack Hughes should give Zacha a chance to top the 25 points he's had in each of the last two seasons.

Zacha picked up an assist in 18:05 of ice time during Wednesday's 7-6 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha has been skating on the Devils' second line and second power-play unit of late, and he's made the most of the opportunity, notching two goals and five points in his last five games. Although it remains to be seen if he'll be able to hold on to that role, the 22-year-old is definitely worth picking up in most formats at this point.

Zacha scored a goal and two assists in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old carried the Devils to a 4-1 lead early in the second period, but the team fell apart after that. Zacha has yet to score more than 25 points in an NHL season after being the sixth overall pick in the 2015 draft, and while he shows occasional flashes of upside, his bottom-six placement and lack of power-play time will make it tough for him to provide consistent fantasy value.

Zacha dished out a helper in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha is coming off back-to-back 25-point seasons, but he's hoping to take the next step in his development at age 22. He's off to a strong start in that regard thanks to an assist on a Blake Coleman tally that made it 4-0 at the time.

Zacha is no longer dealing with visa issues and will join the Devils for practice Wednesday, Chris Wescott of the Blackhawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zacha won't be in the lineup for Wednesday night's matchup with the Bruins, but Friday's preseason finale against Columbus might still be an option. Due to the influx of offensive talent New Jersey experienced this offseason, Zacha, who notched 13 goals and 25 points in 61 games with the Devils last year, will likely lose his spot on the team's second power-play unit while being relegated to a bottom-six role for the 2019-20 campaign.
