ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Once famous mostly for adorning Teemu Selanne's helmet, the word "JOFA" has taken on new meaning in Nashville and other cities around the NHL.
Nashville Predators forwards Ryan Johansen, Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson have gone from undervalued to highly rated, as their so-called "JOFA" line has arguably been the most effective of any trio this postseason.
They have scored a combined 10 goals, with nine coming at even strength. They have absolutely dominated opponents five-on-five; the Predators have a double-digit goal differential when all three players are on the ice.
