Devils send former No. 6 pick Pavel Zacha to AHL

The New Jersey Devils' 2015 sixth overall pick, Pavel Zacha, was assigned to the AHL on Friday after failing to record a point in the first 10 games of the regular season, the club announced.

Zacha had become a regular for the NHL club the past two seasons, skating in 139 games and producing 49 points.

The 2015 NHL Draft was loaded with talent, as Ivan Provorov, Zach Werenski, Timo Meier, and Mikko Rantanen were selected after Zacha, in that order. Other players taken in that first round include Jake Debrusk (14), Mathew Barzal (16), Kyle Connor (17), Thomas Chabot (18), Brock Boeser (23), Travis Konecny (24), and Anthony Beauvillier (28).

In the same transaction, Kevin Rooney was also assigned to the AHL, while Kurtis Gabriel and Brett Seney were recalled from Binghamton.
