Nashville, Tenn. — It’s been a struggle for Andreas Athanasiou this early part of the season.

Athanasiou caught a rut on the ice during training camp in Traverse City that triggered a minor injury and kept him out of several practices.

Then, once Athanasiou returned to the lineup, he banged into the boards while sliding and falling, after scoring a goal against the New York Islanders in his first preseason game.
