Michael Dal Colle To Top-Six Job, Anthony Beauvillier Demoted
6 years agoNew York Islanders left wing Michael Dal Colle was promoted to the second scoring line with center Josh Bailey and All-Star winger Mathew Barzal, and he'll debut in the top-six spot against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. Left wing Anthony Beauvillier, who has been struggling, was dropped to the third line alongside forwards Valtteri Filppula and Leo Komarov. "You give an opportunity to someone else," head coach Barry Trotz said. "It also puts a little bit of a red flag for the groups. Make sure you perform or you can be replaced." Dal Colle has some fantasy sleeper potential in deeper pools, and DFS owners might want to roll the dice on him as a low-cost alternative with upside.
