Fedotenko moves down to the fourth line. This change should not affect his fantasy hockey value.

Fedotenko will start the game on the top line. Through his first seven games this season, the winger has one goal and five points.
Line Change
Ruslan Fedotenko moves to the Rangers' second line, filling Dubinsky's place along with Artem Anisimov and Ryan Callahan. "I’m very comfortable with Feds playing with Arte and Cally," Tortorella said. "He ccored a goal the other night. He's a similar player to Duby. So we’ll try it that way."
Fedotenko scored 10 goals and 25 points through 66 games with the Rangers last season. He should be able to at least replicate those totals as he rotates between the lines.

Looks like Ruslan Fedotenko will get to skate with Richards and Gaborik for Red Team in afternoon #NYR scrimmage
Fedotenko played with Brad Richards back in the Tampa Bay years and could be a fit on the team's top line. Richards was quoted earlier in the season as saying he works best with a North-South winger who can get the puck out of the corners. Surprisingly, Fedotenko fits that bill better than Wojtek Wolski.
So signing Fedotenko to a one-year deal worth $1.4 million is just smart business and something that Tortorella hinted at yesterday.
