Vatrano and Strome also moved up to the top line and Terry dropped to the third. ... Leason practiced with the fourth line after being scratched the past two games. ... De Leo, a forward, returned to practice for the first time since sustaining a knee injury in a preseason game against the Kings on Oct. 3.
