Watch: Zajac's terrific backcheck creates Hall's OT winner
Streamable
There's a reason Taylor Hall immediately skated over to Travis Zajac before embracing the rest of his teammates Sunday night.
Zajac's impressive backcheck nullified a chance by Vancouver Canucks forward Sven Baertschi, and Zajac then fed Hall, who went end-to-end for the game-winner in overtime.
It was Hall's 11th goal of the season, but it wouldn't have been possible without Zajac's play in the Devils' defensive zone.
