Zajac will sit out the regular-season finale Saturday against the Capitals for rest purposes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zajac closes out the 2017-18 campaign having totaled 26 points -- 12 goals and 14 assists -- over 65 games this season and will attempt to parlay his last-season success of four points in his last five games played into production as the postseason approaches.

Zajac scored a goal and added a power-play assist during Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has settled into a secondary role for the majority of the season, and with 12 goals and 14 assists through 62 games, he hasn't provided fantasy value in most settings. However, Zajac has been promoted to the No. 1 power-play unit of late, so he could be a worth a flier in daily contests.

Zajac (undisclosed) will return to the lineup against Vegas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Zajac missed just one game as a result of his undisclosed ailment. Despite averaging 1:39 of ice time with the man advantage, the Winnipeg native has tallied just four power-play points. While he won't reach the 40-point mark for what would have been a third consecutive season, the center has already notched 10 goals and 10 helpers, despite playing in just 51 games.

Zajac (undisclosed) will travel with the team for its upcoming West Coast road trip, Amanda Stein of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The road trip begins Wednesday in Vegas, which will be Zajac's next chance to return to action after he missed Saturday's win against the Predators. Zajac was able to skate Monday morning, so if he continues to make progress in Tuesday's practice and Wednesday's morning skate, he'll have a good chance to take on the Golden Knights. With just 10 goals and 10 assists in 51 contests, Zajac's had a disappointing season, but he'll likely remain in the team's top-six group of forwards and see consistent power play time for the remainder of 2017-18.

Zajac (undisclosed) did not make the trip to Nashville for Saturday's game against the Predators, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils will return home Saturday evening before embarking on a two-week west coast road trip Monday that begins with a contest against the Golden Knights on Wednesday. His one-game absence shouldn't be alarming, but it would be a big red flag if Zajac doesn't leave with the team for the following trip. Christoph Bertschy, Drew Stafford and Jimmy Hayes are candidates to rejoin the lineup Saturday in his absence, while another spot in the top six and on the power play will also open.

Zajac left Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Jets in the second period with an apparent injury and did not return, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zajac sustained his injury when he took a big hit from Winnipeg's Andrew Copp. The specific nature of his malady remains unknown, but the Devils should provide an update on his status ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Predators.

Zajac scored two power-play goals and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Zajac blew this one open with a pair of power-play goals in the final two minutes of the opening frame, doubling the 2-0 lead his team had built up to that point. With this effort, the 32-year-old center has now cracked double-digit goals in 10 different NHL campaigns, including each of the past five. Still, Zajac's 20 points in 50 appearances this season suggest his value in standard leagues is limited.

Zajac dished out two helpers -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Something about facing the Penguins brings out the best in Zajac, as he has five points in two games against them and just 12 points in his 44 other appearances this season. The 32-year-old center provides a valuable veteran presence on a young New Jersey club, but his fantasy contributions are minimal at this stage.

Zajac picked up two assists while adding three shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It's been feast or (mostly) famine for Zajac since the calendar flipped to 2018, as he now has five goals and nine points in his last 18 games -- but those nine points have been clumped in only five contests, with 13 goose eggs in between. That's still a much better overall pace than he put together to begin the season, but that volatility also makes him a risky fantasy play, even in large DFS tournaments when his matchup seems favorable.

Zajac snapped a nine-game point drought with two goals and one assist in the Devils' 3-1 win over the Penguins on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

He was dominant Saturday, but that's not a reflection of his season. Zajac has been largely sleepwalking through 2017-18. He now has 10 points in 34 games, but he has been held off the scoresheet in 28 of those games. That kind of pace makes him tough to roster in any format.
