Jiri Tlusty to start on 'Canes third line
Jiri Tlusty - W - Carolina Hurricanes
Jan. 19, 2013 - 11:10 AM ET

Jiri Tlusty will start Saturday's game against Florida on the Hurricanes' third line.

This should be considered a mild disappointment for Tlusty owners after the 24-year-old spent the beginning of the abbreviated training camp on Eric Staal's wing. For the time being, Tlusty will skate alongside Jussi Jokinen and Chad LaRose. That said, we doubt both Zac Dalpe or Zach Boychuk will have long term success on the Canes' top two lines, so Tlusty is bound to move up. Draft him and be patient.
