With a goal and three assists, Zajac broke his 28-game goalless streak and earned the first star of the night. The Devils came out hot and put up a five spot in the first period, scoring on half of their shots. Whether it’s Michael Cammalleri being back, the spark of Reid Boucher, or a ticked off John Hynes ripping them a new one at practice, who knows. All I know is I like it.
This team has shown the flashes of being a team that can make a playoff run. The consistency wasn’t there for much of the first half of the season, and yet the Devils found themselves holding a wild card spot.
