Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson Promoted To First Line On Friday
6 years agoBoston Bruins center Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson will be the team's first-line center on Friday against Pittsburgh. With Patrice Bergeron (upper body) missing, head coach Bruce Cassidy has been forced into some lineup juggling and he's rewarding Forsbacka Karlsson for his good recent play. The 22-year-old Swede has scored in back-to-back games. He's been praised for his two-way ability and playing alongside Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak will give a huge boost to his fantasy value. The Penguins are allowing 3.25 goals per game this season, so Forsbacka Karlsson will be an intriguing DFS play on Friday.
