Is Tyler Seguin a Good Fit Between Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton in David Krejci’s Absence?

With David Krejci out of the lineup, there’s a spot on the top line between Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic.

There are few players who could hold over that spot until Krejci returns, including second-year forward Tyler Seguin, who is penciled in to take over Krejci’s duties on Wednesday night.

Last year, Seguin put up 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) over 74 games for Boston, and he added seven points over 13 postseason games. Last year’s second-overall draft pick also scored six points in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Final, when he was called up to replace Patrice Bergeron, who sat out with a concussion.

It’s only a week into the season, but so far Lucic has one point, Horton has none and both forwards have a rating of minus-2. Seguin, on the other hand, has three points (all assists) and a rating of plus-2. But could the 19-year-old be able to find chemistry with Lucic and Horton?
