Zaitsev (face) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with Florida, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Considering Zaitsev is mired in a 34-game goal drought, during which he managed just five helpers, few fantasy players figure to be impacted by his potential absence. If the blueliner does miss out Saturday, Victor Mete figures to take his place in the lineup while trade acquisition Travis Hamonic could see the biggest uptick in minutes.
