Zacha scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Panthers.
Zacha showed immediate success with Elias Lindholm, who set up his first-period tally. The 27-year-old Zacha is making the move to left wing with Lindholm in the fold to play center. Both of them may take on more playmaking roles with the third member of their line being David Pastrnak, who also scored in the contest. Zacha has topped the 20-goal mark in both of his years with the Bruins despite never exceeding 150 shots on net, so expect him to continue to be a selective and efficient shooter as well as a decent source of hits -- he had 106 body checks last season.
