He isn't on the 4th line though. He's with Sheahan and Nielsen against the Sens first line.
Terrible period
Not much confidence they can hold this lead.
2 goal cushion going into the 3rd. Yep! Is anyone nervous?
Wings for some reason keep falling back. giving too much spaces. Bad bad bad.
Need to step forward and apply pressure
Looks like you're right he has moved back. Been completely insignificant so far this season.
I know we like to make fun of Ericsson and say he sucks, but he'll be missed this game if he doesn't come back. Dude should have had a visor on anyway.

Refs have been really poor again tonight, applying the rules in a very inconsistent way.
If Vanek keeps up this level of play he might be Detroit's best FA signing in a decade. The PP looks so much better with him on it...he's so so smart around the net.
Helm line looks our best again tonight, but now Z and larkin have been re-united, both look a lot more comfortable. Sheahan and Abby are playing like they want to get Mantha up on the big club asap!
On the D, still no-one looking convincing, but at least Green bringing some offence.
Since Hossa you mean?
I personally thought Hossa was a disappointment.
Basing it on the Finals, me too.
I'd love the win here. Grab points where you can. Team plays pretty uneven, don't they?
Guys, it's been like 3 games. Vanek has been great, but let's pump the breaks a little here.
Ottawa is pretty lousy defensively, fwiw
