Turris led things off with a goal just over a minute into Thursday's game against the Predators. After averaging 18:44 of action last season, Turris saw his ice time bumped up to 20:27 on Thursday, along with 6:06 on the power play. That trend figures to hold while Turris moves up to a top-line role this season, following the offseason trade of Jason Spezza to the Stars. If he suits up for close to an 82-game schedule, Turris shouldn't have too much difficulty surpassing last season's career-best marks of 26 goals and 32 assists.
