Del Zotto will play in Saturday's tilt with the Canucks, reports Steve Zipay of Newsday.

After being scratched five times in the Rangers' last 8 games, MDZ will suit up Saturday afternoon. One could surmise Vigneault is hoping to tug on the slumping defenseman's emotions and inspire a productive game against his former coach John Tortorella. Any owners still hanging onto hopes of a Del Zotto resurgence are surely hoping for the same. The 23-year-old Ontario native will get a chance to not only improve on his four points and minus-6 rating in 19 games played this season, but his trade value to the organization as well.
