Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Bouncing back from fourth line
Andrei Kuzmenko started Sunday's loss to the Oilers on the fourth line but eventually took shifts on the top line, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.Kuzmenko, who posted seven points in the first eight games, had a strong start to the season, but he hit the skids last week and was benched for the final 27 minutes of last Friday's 3-0 loss to the Devils. In addition to opening on the fourth line Sunday, he was temporarily removed from the top power-play unit. However, Kuzmenko was one of the team's best forwards against Edmonton and was elevated to the top line alongside Nazem Kadri and Martin Pospisil midway through the second period. Calgary head coach Ryan Huska was pleased with Kuzmenko's effort Sunday and could reestablish the 28-year-old forward on the top line to start Tuesday's road game in Montreal.

Flames' Andrei Kuzmenko: Manages helper in win
Andrei Kuzmenko produced an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Canucks.Kuzmenko helped out on a Rasmus Andersson tally in the second period. The 28-year-old Kuzmenko saw just 15:22 of ice time, which isn't encouraging considering the Calgary Flames were trailing for much of the contest. He began the game as the listed first-line right wing, though the forwards got shuffled after Kevin Rooney (undisclosed) left the contest. Kuzmenko put up 22 goals and 25 helpers over 72 contests between the Canucks and the Flames last year, but he can be a bit streaky on offense, which will lead to frustration for fantasy managers since the winger rarely adds much in the way of physical play.
