#NJDevils: With Zajac back in the lineup, he’ll have the A for the rest of the season while the second A will be rotated the rest of the season.

ETA: Chris Ryan ‏Verified account @ChrisRyan_NJ

Hynes said earlier Zajac would wear his "A" every night, with the other A rotating between Hall, Palmieri, Henrique, Boyle, Stafford and Johansson. Hall has it today.

I haven't been liking Zacha's game but,  it can't get better not playing!  Is there something else going that I'm unaware of? 

I posted this in a different thread the other day but this is the gist of it: 

http://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/nhl/devils/fireandice/2017/11/17/devils-brass-have-talked-pavel-zacha-agent-his-ice-time-coach-john-hynes-first-round-pick-ahl/876280001/

“He’s part of the team,” Hynes said. “Every player is different. Everyone goes through different circumstances. We’ve had lots of communication with Pavel. We met with his agent. We met with him. We all feel like we’re giving him the same message of what we need to see better. At this point of his career, he’s been here for a year, sometimes when you get out of the lineup, you’ve got to work to get back in, too. We certainly believe he’s a very good player but he’s got some things he’s got to get better at.

“But we feel like we’re trying to do it collectively,” Hynes added. “The general manager, the head coach, the agent, the player, to make sure he clearly understands what needs to be better and then the player has to take it up on himself to put the work in and get himself back in. We feel like we have a very competitive team. Our team has played well. It’s not really a time right now for token games or token shifts. You’ve got to play the guys that have earned the jobs and earned the right to be in the lineup every night.”

ETA quote from today's AG article: 

“He’s an important part of our team,” Hynes said. “It’s been competitive this year on our team. We told the players in training camp, don’t look at the depth chart and don’t expect anything. We’re going to play the guys that earn it. Guys are going to get opportunities and it’s your job to keep it. It’s not that Pav has been awful but some other guys have been very consistent and they’ve been big difference makers in the game. Now it’s his job to understand what it takes to play in this league and not just play but we want guys that help us win. Last year we went through some situations where we played guys for development, we played guys to give them looks. That’s not the case this year.”

Vegas won last week by shooting high on Hellebuck. They didn’t use finesse, slappers from the circles got them their first two or three.

repeat that, play sound defensively and we’ll walk away with two points. LGD!

EDIT: also stay out of the goddamn box
