Tom Kuhnhackl Promoted To Top Line On Thursday
6 years agoNew York Islanders winger Tom Kuhnhackl has been promoted to the top line ahead of Thursday's visit to Pittsburgh. The German will be facing his former teammates after spending the previous three seasons with the Pens. Kuhnhackl hasn't done much as an Islander yet, recording only four points in 16 games and he's on a nine-game point drought, but playing on a scoring line could help him get going. He replaces Josh Bailey on the first line. Bailey, who's one of the best passers on the team, will boost the fantasy value of Valtteri Filppula and Leo Komarov on the third line.
