Avery Close, Top Line Won't Change

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that John Tortorella said he will have a better idea about whether Sean Avery will play Sunday after practice tomorrow.

Zipay adds that Avery looked fine and seemed in good spirits.

On possibly breaking up the first line to accomodate Avery's return Torts said...

“I’m not, I can tell you that. I’m not going to break that line up,” Tortorella said after a light practice. “Obviously, if Sean is healthy, I want to get him in the lineup and it’s going to change something. I’m not exactly sure where it’s going to be, but it won’t be that line. I thing you’ve really got to be careful when you’re dealing with a top line that does some really good things for you—and I’ve learned from mistakes I’ve made—not to knee-jerk so quickly.”

...smart move not messing with what's working.
