Nikita Gusev Set For Panthers Debut On Top Line
4 years agoFlorida Panthers winger Nikita Gusev will make his team debut on the first line in Thursday's clash with Tampa Bay, slotting in alongside Aleksander Barkov and Mason Marchment. Gusev joined the Panthers on April 11 after his contract was terminated by New Jersey. He had a decent debut in the NHL with the Devils last season, posting 44 points in 66 outings, but managed only five points in 20 games this term before the Devils placed him on unconditional waivers. Gusev has always been a very skillful player, so he's got plenty of upside as a Florida player and should be followed closely by fantasy managers. Defenseman Brandon Montour, who was acquired from Buffalo, will also make his debut on Thursday.
