Statistically Speaking: The best NHL lines | TSN
Pretty interesting article looking at the best and worst lines throughout the NHL. You won’t find a Red Wings line amongst the best. That probably doesn’t surprise anyone though. Until recently, it doesn’t seem like Detroit has had a line click really well since the early days of the season with Nyquist-Helm-Vanek. The last few games, however, I’ve really enjoyed the work from Nyquist-Larkin-Vanek and, even more so, the line of Tatar-Zetterberg-Mantha.
The real surprise in the article is the absence of the OMG line. Of course, Scott Cullen set a minimum of 100 minutes of 5-on-5 ice time as a trio. The group of Ott-Glendening-Miller probably didn’t meet that standard.
And that’s a good thing.
