It has been much of a relief to see the first line in Ottawa have success. The theme surrounding the beginning of the Ottawa Senator’s season has been question marks. Kyle Turris has taken it upon himself to eliminate the questions surrounding his ability to be a first line centre.
Turris has gone through his fair share of struggles over the years. After the Jason Spezza trade right after the 2013-2014 season, the role of first line centre was put in his hands. Although having a career high in points last year with 64 (24 goals, 40 assists) it took a while for him to get things going, as he struggled to put up points at the beginning of the year.
