‘Kotalik’s goal came off a feed from new linemate Dainius Zubrus, who shared a renewed enthusiasm with his new linemate. Zubrus had some of his best chances as a Sabre, including a rush through the middle of the Devils’ defense in the second period that nearly broke a 1-1 tie. Is this a combination destined for big things? “I can’t say after just one game, but I was just happy to play on this line with these guys,” Kotalik said.’
