The time has come for Fantilli
Patrik Laine didn't travel with the team after taking an elbow from Rasmus Andersson late in Friday's game. With that, We get to see Adam Fantilli play at the top center spot. Mathieu Olivier will take Laine's roster spot for tonight and will slot in on the fourth line.
This is the time that all CBJ fans have been waiting for, for Adam Fantilli to get his shot at playing as 1C. He's played well all season and has yet to get on the scoreboard, but his time is coming. He was absolutely robbed last night of his first goal by Flames goalie Jacob Markstrom. When he finally scores, look for the avalanche to start. He has the confidence, he has the talent, now he just needs to come through for the first one.
Tune in for tonight's game, it should be a good one in Minnesota.
