NEWARK - Between Auston Matthews with the Toronto Maple Leafs and the rest of the young talent in the NHL, there are plenty of rookies to rave about.

Left wing Taylor Hall thinks the Devils have one of them.

Hall has seen extended time with 19-year-old center Pavel Zacha during the past two games with the Devils, and the rookie is already making an impression on the former No. 1 overall pick.

Between's Zacha's poise on both ends of the ice and his play-making ability, Hall had nothing but rave reviews.

"Great young player. He's a guy that's big and strong and very capable in his own end for a player of his age," Hall said. "You usually don't see that. And on faceoffs, usually that takes a lot of time to get the faceoffs down and be a guy who can be relied on there."

When Hall scored two more goals in Tuesday's home win over the Arizona Coyotes, it was Zacha -- the sixth overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft -- setting him up with the primary assist on each.

The first assist even came on the play seen from a crafty veteran, with Zacha kicking the puck to Hall off a faceoff win to set up his shot.

"That's a play where you usually can't run that with a 19-year-old centerman. He's so big and strong, he's able to win battles and win faceoffs like that," Hall said. "And I've been working on that shot a little bit, so it was nice to see it go in."

With the Devils continuing to fine tune things on the offensive end by shuffling lines before and during games, Hall has seen ice time with a number of players. He doesn't care who he's paired with, but Zacha seems to have carved out a spot with the winger.

"It's been fun playing with him. It seems lately, the lines have been shuffled around during the games a lot," Hall said. "I said this from day one: there's a lot of good players to play with here, a lot of guys who make other guys around him better, so it's fun."
