Atkinson got hot at the end of last season when he scored five goals and five assists in the final six games. He played a lot of his 27 games on a line with Vaclav Prospal but produced his hot streak while skating with R.J. Umberger and Derick Brassard. Watch for how he is deployed to start the 2012-13 campaign, as Atkinson has been a threat to score all through his career. He was the 2010-11 division scoring leader with Boston College before scoring 29 goals in 51 games in the AHL ahead of his call-up to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Atkinson had a great run in the AHL during the lockout and comes into the season hot and looking for a spot high on the depth chart.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":3.9,"playerRater15DAY":4.1,"positionRank":54}
