Through the first nine games of the season, Dave Hakstol hasn’t made too many tweaks to his forward lines. After mixing up the the middle six following a loss in the second game of the season, Hakstol’s only other changes to the forward group this year has been due to injuries suffered by Jordan Weal and Taylor Leier. With each of the four main lines already seeing 50 minutes or more of 5-on-5 action together, it’s safe to say there’s been enough time for each trio to gel and figure out where one another will be in the offensive zone to help create chances.
