Sure, he's a fourth liner when he's in New Jersey, but Zalewski (the W is silent) is a fourth liner that can make things happen.
I say that because in the minors (both with Worcester and with Albany), he's a decent scorer. At the time he was called up, he
was the leading scorer for the A-Devs.
Because of injuries and Peter DeBoer's plan to rotate his players on the fourth line, he got the call. And he's been playing well,
forcing DeBoer to keep him and return Tim Sestito to Albany instead.
And he's come close to getting his first NHL point a few times. (I almost left it at goal, but he had his fair share of setups that
linemates had been stopped on, as well.)
Entry Draft: 2004 Fifth Round Pick (153rd overall) by the San Jose Sharks
