But his return to the NHL lineup is being overshadowed by some of the other decisions the Isles have made in the lead up to tonights’ game.

According to Arthur Staple, it seems that one of Leo Komarov or Ross Johnston is in the running to take a spot on the third line next to Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Oliver Wahlstrom.
