Dainius Zubrus' inclusion in the San Jose lineup is not among major factors for the Sharks' game five win, but the fourth liner looked comfortable after not playing for almost a month. Zubrus played 11 minutes, tied with Melker Karlsson for the fewest in the game, and finished with a +1 corsi differential at even strength.
Zubrus likely sees his hits as his biggest contribution as Zubrus finished with six, second only to Joe Pavelski's seven. Smarter people than me have talked about the limited uses of the hits stat, so I'll leave it at this: Zubrus' hits don't matter and, quite frankly, are more likely a bug than a feature.
