Zajac's career commemorated before Jets fly past Devils | Postgame Report

Tonight, the New Jersey Devils were unable to replicate Tuesday's dominance against the Colorado Avalanche and fell 2-1 to the Winnipeg Jets. The Devils were looking to get their fourth home win in a row but could not reach this landmark due to an aggressive Jets defense and some poorly timed passes. The Jets got out ahead early in the first period, and the Devils were playing catch up from there. They eventually grabbed one back with a rocket from the young star Jack Hughes, but were unable to find their way past Eric Comrie at any other point in the night. Despite the outcome, there was still celebration in the arena as the Devils celebrated the belated achievement of Travis Zajac playing 1000 career NHL games. He skated onto the ice one last time in the Devils uniform for the singing of the national anthem as the crowd gave him an ovation sure to be remembered. The Devils next play at home on Saturday night as they will face the Anaheim Ducks to close out their 4 game homestand.
