Zibanejad skated with the first line in practice Monday, reports Brent Wallace of TSN Ottawa.

Analysis:

With Kyle Turris (ankle) ruled out indefinitely, it seems as though Zibanejad will slot into the first line and be the biggest beneficiary for the Sens. He's already averaging 17:22 of ice time for the season, but the 22-year-old could see an uptick in minutes -- and production -- down the stretch, especially with Turris lacking a timetable to return. The former first-round pick will be one to watch as he skates between Mike Hoffman and Bobby Ryan.
