Derick Brassard will return to center Sunday
Derick Brassard - C - Columbus Blue Jackets
Feb. 11, 2013 - 5:15 PM ET

Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards has shaken up his lines for Sunday's game against the Oilers.

Among the changes is the shifting of Derick Brassard back to his natural center position. Brassard had been skating on the wing this year, but is expected to line up between Derek Dorsett and R.J. Umberger against Edmonton. While his season has rightly been thought of as a disappointment so far, it's important to note that Brassard is tied with Mark Letestu for the team lead in points among forwards with six.
