Pavel Zacha and John Quenneville will make their NHL preseason debuts tonight when the Devils open the exhibition schedule against the Boston Bruins in Providence, R.I.
Zacha, the sixth overall pick at this year’s Draft, centered Tuomo Ruutu and pro tryout Lee Stempniak at today’s morning skate.
“It’s a great feeling for me,” Zacha said. “I really enjoyed practice and I’m looking forward to playing Boston."
The veteran wingers have over 1,400 NHL games between them, and Zacha hopes to benefit from their experience tonight.
“It was my first practice with them,” he said.
