Back to EpisodesOilers' Forward Lines: Balancing Stars for Playoffs
Description
The Edmonton Oilers are on a winning streak, with Connor McDavid shining best with Zach Hyman and Matt Savoie on his wings. Fans and analysts advocate for balance over stacking stars, suggesting Ryan Nugent-Hopkins thrives more on the wing or third line. Deeper stats point to a solid middle six with Vasily Podkolzin centering Draisaitl and Kasperi Kapanen, and Nugent-Hopkins with Jason Dickinson and Jack Roslovic on the third line. For the bottom, young players like Josh Samanski, Max Jones, and Curtis Lazar stand out defensively, earning spots over vets.
