"It looks like [Frans Nielsen] will center Sean Bergenheim and Kyle Okposo. Gordon said that's the plan he had in camp, before Nielsen was injured and Okposo started the season with John Tavares."
Mark Herrmann's report from practice.
Since I'm suddenly in the business of predicting things, I predict Frans' return brings good things. But oh-ho, woe are those poor fantasy hockey bastards who will suddenly wonder what happened to the Tavares-Okposo-Moulson guaranteed point-per-game flow.
