Defense
New Jersey Devils
Zidlicky will be paired with Volchenkov

The Wild landed forwards Nick Palmieri and Stephane Veilleux, defenseman Kurtis Foster, a second round pick in 2012 and a conditional third round pick in 2013 from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for defenseman Marek Zidlicky.
Zidlicky moves to a team filled with his fellow countrymates. Look for the Devils to initially try him out on the top power play unit.

Defenseman Marek Zidlicky, sidelined by a concussion, skated on his own Wednesday but experienced recurring symptoms and did not skate Thursday.
Out since November 15th, Zidlicky continues to show no improvement from his post-concussion syndrome. At this point keep him on IR or explore better options if you lack the roster space.

Zidlicky said he has a headache, probably won't play tomorrow, has not yer taken concussion test.
Not a good sign for the team's number one defender. Prior to getting hurt his six assists and points led all of the team's defensemen. Check back for a further update and keep him out of your lineup.
