Petr Sykora was bumped down to New Jersey's fourth line at practice on Monday. Coach Pete DeBoer wants to be able to roll four lines and trust them to get the job done, so a veteran like Sykora could help stabilize Ryan Carter and Steve Bernier. Sykora has played the majority of 2011-12 on the second line alongside Patrik Elias, so the move will hurt his already limited fantasy value. He has generated 17 goals and 38 points in 76 games.
