Fantasy Analysis
Dainius Zubrus has been a versatile player during his career with the Devils and has skated with Zajac and Parise before. However, Zubrus isn't always the most productive player even when surrounded by talented linemates. Look for Zubrus to do the dirty work in the corners and in front of the net as well as being active on the forecheck along with Parise. (Updated 05/20/2012).
05/25/2012 23:04 Devils top Rangers in overtime to advance to Stanley Cup Final
Adam Henrique scored off a wild scramble in front at 1:03 into overtime and the New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Rangers 3-2 to advance to their first Stanley Cup finals since 2003.
05/25/2012 14:44 Devils face challenge of closing out Rangers on home ice in Game 6
One of those sayings we hear a lot this time of year is that the toughest game of a playoff series to win is the last one. It seems to be one of the more accepted clich*s in hockey, especially playoff hockey.
05/24/2012 19:27 Rangers in similar 1994 situation, but won't guarantee Game 6
Eighteen years ago, Mark Messier set the stage for one of sports' most dramatic moments. On the eve of the New York Rangers' must-win Game 6 against the Devils in New Jersey in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, Messier guaranteed his team would force a deciding contest back at Madison Square Garden.
Zubrus will once again fill a variety of roles for New Jersey during the upcoming season and is coming off a campaign that saw him post 13 goals and 30 points in 79 games. The centerman will see time on the team's top lines and will also kill penalties, but he's not consistent enough offensively to warrant consideration in most standard fantasy leagues.
