Adam Henrique has three goals in five games since returning from Nov. 29 surgery on his left thumb.

He's been playing on a line with Patrik Elias and David Clarkson, and the trio has looked very good together. "I think the last two games here we've found some chemistry and the guys are playing well," Henrique said. "We're not overcomplicating things. We're playing to our strengths. It's coming. We're getting pucks to the net. We're getting rebounds. Clarkie's having success. He goes to the dirty areas and picks up rebounds, scores goals."

The thumb feels good. There are no issues," Henrique said. "The thing is, anytime you have an extended period of time off you're going to be a little bit rusty. I was happy with the weekend and the way my game progressed. Hopefully I just keep moving forward."

Henrique is latest to audition for the job. "Some chemistry, some consistent production. It's not even someone that's going to score 50 goals, but you're always looking for line chemistry. . So, we'll move around until we feel we get that", said DeBoer when asked if he was holding a tryout for the top left wing position.

Adam Henrique, who scored in his return Thursday night, ended up skating on the top line after starting out on the fourth.

Coach Pete DeBoer moved Henrique up to the top line to start the second period after Jplaying acob Josefson next to Travis Zajac and Ilya Kovalchuk to start the game. DeBoer's rotated several bodies through that spot to start the year, but we don't expect Henrique to stick there. Eventually, look for the talented sophomore to land on the second line between Patrik Elias and the red-hot David Clarkson. Henrique should be owned in all formats.
