Boyes was moved from the top line down to the fourth line in practice on Wednesday, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Boyes has gone pointless in the first three games of the season. He had three shots on goal with two penalty minutes in 16:16 minutes of ice time in his most recent game against Ottawa. The move to the fourth line would likely be accompanied by a decline in both minutes and in the talent of the players Boyes skates with, much to the detriment of his fantasy value.
