Forwards on Strong Lines
Several forwards have secured spots on top lines and power-play units. Dylan Strome has moved to a top line and holds a top power-play role. Jack Quinn has five points in his past three games while skating with Noah Ostlund and Zach Benson. Viktor Arvidsson lines up with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. Alex Laferriere sees 74 percent of his team's power-play time. Will Cuylle plays with Eeli Tolvanen and Noah Laba. Gabriel Landeskog skates on the second line and adds hits. Blake Coleman has shifted to the second line and contributes hits.
Defensemen Stepping Into Bigger Roles
Defensemen benefit from increased ice time due to injuries elsewhere. Seth Jones has seven points in his past three games and five power-play points. Neal Pionk logs 24-plus minutes a night with top-pair and top power-play duties. Travis Sanheim averages 27:32 per game over his past three outings and has 21 blocked shots. Jonas Brodin pairs with Quinn Hughes and focuses on blocked shots. Josh Manson plays on the top pair and relies on hits and blocks.
Goalies With Schedule Advantages
Goalies gain from team schedules and crease situations. Jet Greaves holds an edge after posting 2.06 FPPG across 55 games last season. Dylan Garand has three wins and a.927 save percentage through six games. Lukas Dostal offers a buy-low option as the Ducks play four times with favorable matchups. The Wild and Avalanche schedules stand out for skaters and goalies alike.
