Tonight, the New Jersey Devils will honor longtime forward Travis Zajac on his career and playing 1,000 NHL games with the Devils. He reached the impressive milestone on Feb.
In less than a week, the New Jersey Devils will be hitting the ice for their home opener. It will be the first time since 2006 that Travis Zajac will not be part of their opening line-up.
Last week longtime New Jersey Devil Travis Zajac decided to call it a career and retire. He has had himself quite the NHL career, to say the least. He was drafted by the Devils in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft with the 20th overall selection.
For some New Jersey Devils fans, yesterday marked the end of an era. Longtime forward and fan favorite Travis Zajac signed a one-day contract to retire from the NHL as a Devil.
The New Jersey Devils have had a lot of great players. There are legends that won lots of Stanley Cups with them but there have been some really good players in more recent memory as well.
After an off-season of speculation that had Travis Zajac returning to the Islanders for one more season, he announced his retirement today. Before doing so, the NJ Devils gave him a one-day contract in order for him to retire as a member of the franchise that drafted him.
The New Jersey Devils announced that former center and 15-year NHL veteran Travis Zajac is calling it a career. He spent 1,081 games wearing the “NJ” crest between the regular season in the playoff.
Zajac will remain with the Devils organization in an on/off-ice player development and consulting role, while also working to grow the club’s youth hockey initiatives.
The New Jersey Devils traded Travis Zajac to the New York Islanders as part of the Kyle Palmieri trade. It was the end of an era unlike any other Devils player leaving over the last few years.
The New York Islanders have announced new deals for Kyle Palmieri, Casey Cizikas, Anthony Beauvillier and Ilya Sorokin … all at the same time. The belief was that these deals were complete, but for some reason, the Islanders, led by Lou Lamoriello, had not made the extensions official.
Bringing in another top-six forward and even a blueliner that can help offensively would be a huge boost for the Islanders.
The first major deal of the 2021 NHL trade deadline has landed. The New York Islanders have added Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac in a trade with the Devils.
