Nicklas Bergfors will play on the power play
Nicklas Bergfors - W - Atlanta Thrashers

Nicklas Bergfors is expected to start to get some playing time with the man advantage.

The Thrashers acquired in him the Ilya Kovalchuk trade and he's already taken Kovalchuk's place on the first line. "The Bergfors kid, he's got eight power-play goals, so you've got to put him in," coach John Anderson said. "Without a practice it's kind of difficult to put him in and say, 'Go do some magic.' That's why we didn't play him on the power play [Saturday], but he's going to get some time obviously. Hopefully he can do something good." Bergfors is a solid prospect and worth keeping a close eye on, but it'll probably be a season or two before he has much fantasy value.
