Liam Foudy and Dean Kukan Draw into Lineup for Game 1
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets forward Liam Foudy and defenseman Dean Kukan will be in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Maple Leafs, pushing Nathan Gerbe and Markus Nutivaara out of action respectively. Both are depth moves for Columbus, with Foudy on the third line and Kukan on the third pairing, but against a top-heavy roster like Toronto's Columbus will need their depth players to step up. Foudy has been practicing with Gustav Nyquist and Boone Jenner, and with only two NHL games under his belt and a first-round pedigree, he is an offensive wild card for Columbus. Meanwhile, Kukan will play alongside Ryan Murray and posted the team's third-best expected goals for percentage during the regular season (54.96 percent).
