***IN THE SLOT***FANTASY RECAP OF YESTEDAY'S PLAYOFF ACTION
FLORIDA 2- NEW JERSEY 3 OT: After failing to hold a two-goal lead in regulation, the Devils stave off elimination with Travis Zajac's goal 5:34 into overtime. Despite collecting only six points in 15 regular season games after returning from injury, Zajac has been Jersey's most effective scorer in the series, scoring six points in the last five games. Fantasy owners should circle his name for next season, as he has clicked big-time on a line with Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise. While the latter might not be back in a Dev's uniform, Zajac still figures prominently in the team's offensive plans going forward. As for Game 7.. Zajac and his linemates could come up big.
