Are the Colorado Avalanche using ideal line combinations?

The Avs’ season-opening win against the Rangers was short-lived, as a sloppy loss to New Jersey put the Bednar Blender™ into effect in Colorado and we got a glimpse of some potential line combos he has in his back pocket. Things got stabilized again in Game 3, a nice road win in Boston, but let’s take a look at how the team has been using its forwards at even strength in Week 1 and whether there’s room for improvement.

As we know, Game 1 was a successful win, meaning that lines were kept reasonably intact throughout.
