Considering Henrique was still production through this injury, fantasy hockey owners should not be worried. The rookie has 11 goals and 30 points in 37 games. Expect him to stay in the lineup and center the top line.
In his first two games this season, Henrique was held pointless with a minus-2 rating. He likely gets the first crack at replacing Jacob Josefson down the middle.
Henrique needs more ice time as an offensive player. His demotion is a coy move by the Devils even though he loses all of his immediate fantasy hockey value.
Henrique looked like a shoe-in to make the team out of training camp but has since fallen on the depth chart with Petr Sykora's re-emergence. Last season, the former Windsor Spitfire scored 25 goals and 50 points with the team's AHL affiliate Albany Devils. He shoudl be NHL ready so expect to see him in a Devils' sweater at some point this season.
With the injuries down the middle, Henrique figures to make the team out of camp. Last season, the former Windsor Spitfire scored 25 goals and 50 points with the team's AHL affiliate Albany Devils. Look for him to center the third line until Zajac returns.
The Devils may deploy a 'kid line' with Travis Zajac slightly depleting the team's depth. The former Windsor Spitfire scored 25 goals and 50 points with the team's AHL affiliate Albany Devils.
