Not only is he playing, he is centering the top line with Ovie and Wilson.  I was not expecting that.  Kuzy will be between Vrana and Oshie.

That's great news.  I was hoping we'd have him back for Wednesday's game against the Bruins.

Maybe they wanted to get him a game in, assuming he is fully recovered, to get back in the swing of things before having to face the Bruins.  I'm sure he's going to be counted on to do a big part of the job of slowing down the Bruins' top line.
