Detroit Red Wings: Andreas Athanasiou will flourish as an NHL center

When the season started Andreas Athanasiou started as the Detroit Red Wings third line center. He was playing with Michael Rasmussen and Thomas Vanek. Since then Andreas has seen his name scribbled into the lineup card on a wing.

Sometimes he’s on the second line with Frans Nielsen as his center. He had a massive point outburst on that second line with Gustav Nyquist on the opposite wing. As a member of that line, Anthanasiou went on a 14 game tear; He recorded 14 points in 14 games.
