Coyotes' Anthony Duclair: Returning to top-line role

Duclair is expected to skate with Max Domi and Martin Hanzal on the No. 1 line against Montreal on Thursday, The Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

Duclair has bounced around the lineup through the first two games of the season without consistent linemates. It has likely hurt his production, as he's still looking to register his first point of the year. The Duclair-Domi-Hanzal line posted a solid 52.9 CorsiFor percentage at full strength last season, and among trios with at least 200 minutes of shared ice time at five-on-five, Duclair, Domi and Hanzal returned a league-best 88.7 goals for percentage. The line swap projects to help Duclair's fantasy value going forward, considering the group's track record of success.
