After missing hits, shots and making bad passes, Del Zotto sat the majority of the rest of the game. This drop in production may be due to news of the young defenseman's grandmother passing away after Game 3, Saturday. All things considered, he did manage to still contribute an assist late in the third.","date":"Tue May 22"},"fullName":"Michael Del Zotto","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Stating Michael Del Zotto stomached a rocky 2010-11 wouldn't do the experience justice. Benched often, demoted and called up several times, analyzed ad nauseum, and publicly criticized for being defensively irresponsible by his own coach and others, Del Zotto endured a lot before a busted finger and hernia surgery put an end to all of the drama. A solid comeback season could be in order here. Undeniably offensively gifted, Del Zotto collected 37 points as a teenager in his rookie season. Now the 21-year-old insists he knows what he needs to do to remain a regular in the New York Rangers' lineup. After surviving all of this past season's turmoil, we have faith in the young man.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Sep 9"},"playerRater30DAY":2.5,"playerRater15DAY":5.6,"positionRank":18}
