Dainius Zubrus News
Center
New Jersey Devils
Devils left wing Dainius Zubrus is on the ice practicing with the team.
Zubrus (wrist) has only appeared in nine games this season. He has been out for over a month and this is the first time he has skated with the team since getting hurt. Zubrus would help the Devils because of Ilya Kovalchuk's injury but he is not a good fantasy option.

#NJD Devils announce Zubrus out 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing surgery on his left wrist today.
This eliminates what little fantasy value Zubrus still had. If you have him... Drop him.

Dainius Zubrus still out with upper back injury that could be long term.

Zubrus is out for tonight's game vs. Tampa Bay.
Zubrus was hurt in the Devils last game against the Rangers. He only has 1 G and 3 A in 9 games on the Devils first line. Rookie Stefan Matteau will assume his spot on New Jersey's top-line with Travis Zajac and Ilya Kovalchuk. Consider Zubrus as day-to-day.
