Coyle on top line tonight
Courtesy of Fantrax:
(2/6/13) Charlie Coyle was promoted to Minnesota's top line during Wednesday's practice. He skated with Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu after he made his NHL debut Monday alongside Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Matt Cullen. During the session, Dany Heatley played with Bouchard and Cullen instead. Coach Mike Yeo said that the lines could be changed back for Thursday's game versus Vancouver, as nothing is set in stone yet but it wouldn't be surprising if the rookie forward stayed with Koivu and Parise. Heatley has been struggling lately and Coyle could bring something new to the table. Sounds like the coach wants to mix it up and give the kid a shot to see what he can do. He'll certainly bring some size and strength to that line. I wonder if he'll play the whole game on the wing or if they'll try him at center or a little of both? Great opportunity for him though

Solid link. Coaches will often put a rookie on the top line for a bit to get their feet wet and see if it works. He'll probably get two game trial on that line. If it works, he'll obviously get more... if it doesn't, he'll probably hit the 3rd line.
Hmm... well, glad I don't own Heater in any of my 8 leagues.
