Denis Gurianov Earns Promotion To Second Line
2 years agoDallas Stars winger Denis Gurianov will be rolling with the second line Saturday night against Montreal. The 25-year-old has started the 2022-23 campaign with a four-game scoring drought, but he impressed Thursday against Toronto and now gets a chance to play a bigger role. Ty Dellandrea has previously skated on the second line with Tyler Seguin and Mason Marchment, but he will move to the third line for Saturday's game. Gurianov is an enigmatic figure who boasts all the talent in the world but seems incapable of achieving any kind of consistency. He even spent a number of games as a healthy scratch last season. A meeting with a weak Montreal squad should be a good spot for him to start building momentum.
