Brian Boyle: A Q&A with Lightning Insider Erik Erlendsson

Erlendsson has been the go-to beat reporter for all things Lightning since 2001-02, first at the Tampa Tribune and now over at his own site, LightningInsider.com (support Erik here).

How much time has Boyle spent at center versus the wing? How has his role morphed throughout the season? It looks like he’s spent a lot of time on Filppula’s wing.

Erlendson: He’s played left wing when on Filppula’s line; a combination that was sort of thrown together around December, with Drouin playing right wing, as the injury bug really started to hit the forward group.
