Zacha added three shots and two hits to his line in 16:05 of ice time. The 23-year-old is playing some great hockey right now, as he's finished pointless just once in his past 11 appearances. He's close to averaging a point per game for the year with 12 points in 15 outings. The Devils have six games in the next nine days, so fantasy managers should consider adding Zacha to the roster.
