Travis Zajac is clearly very important to the New Jersey Devils organization. He is one of the two longest tenured players on the team alongside Devil’s captain Andy Greene. He wears an “A” on his sweater because he is a great leader and mentor to the other guys in the room.
Zajac doesn’t wow every night with his offensive talent. He doesn’t score 30 goals or have 80 points every season. That isn’t to say that he can’t contribute offensively. His career high in goals is 25, and in that same year he chipped in 42 assists for 67 points.
