Muller says Brent is feeling better today and has a chance of playing against Sens
Brent has a sliver of fantasy hockey relevance because he plays with Eric Staal on the top PP unit. He will continue to be replaced by rookie Riley Nash on the fourth line.
Tim Brent, who suffered a cut leg in Friday's game against Nashville, was back and skating today.
Sounds like Brent will be fine from his laceration. The pivot scored eight goals and 20 points last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Should he not be healthy enough for opening day, look for a youngster like Drayson Bowman to take his spot.
The Carolina Hurricanes got their fourth-line center early in free agency Friday, signing former Toronto Maple Leaf Tim Brent to a two-year deal worth a total of $1.5 million. Brent will earn $700,000 this coming season and $800,000 in 2012-13.
