Niclas Bergfors News

Trotz also said that forward Niclas Bergfors will play tomorrow against Vancouver. So far Bergfors has played only one game — Nashville’s home opener against Phoenix. Bergfors played 9:39 and was a plus-2.

No further announcement of who would come out of the lineup with Bergfors coming in but one would guess Brian McGrattan. Stay tuned for a further update.

Bergfors in

Bergfors has been scratched for the team's initial games but likely draws due to various injuries up front. Over his brief NHL career, the former 23rd overall pick has shown the ability to score goals which is certainly valuable in fantasy hockey circles. Keep an eye on where he lands in the lineup as he could have similar value to Sergei Kostitsyn of last season.

“Obviously you want to play,” Bergfors said. “That’s what you want to do, especially in the beginning of the season when you’ve been waiting all summer. But that’s up to the coaches. I just try to work hard and stay focused. I’m going to be ready for my chance.”
