The Devils had a surprise change to their lineup on Friday when Pavel Zacha was unable to play against the Maple Leafs. He took part of the morning skate but then left the ice.
"I didn't feel 100%. I did some stretches and didn't feel 100%. I talked to the coaching staff and said I was 80% ready. I tried to get better to see if it could work and it didn't," said Zacha.
The center took warm-ups as well but it didn't help.
