Pavel Zacha
Pavel Zacha is the Swiss Army knife up front. Center, wing, power play, penalty kill, whatever the lineup card needs that night.
He's a big body who protects the puck well and makes smart little plays that don't show up on the highlight reel but win you shifts.
Pavel has 9 games in so far, with 2 goals and 3 assists for 5 points. His deal runs out after this season, so every game is a bit of a job interview.
C, #18. Shoots left, 6'4", 212 lb. Born Apr 6, 1997 in Brno, Czechia. Drafted 2015, Round 1, #6 overall (NJD).
