Typically when you think of line dominance, you think of line one. In the case of the Pittsburgh Penguins, it runs much deeper than that, and it is needed.
The Pittsburgh Penguins do rely on the top to bottom performances from there forward lines. When digging into the season and looking beyond (aka the playoffs), you will find that domineering performances from line two have powered the Penguins. Top performances from all four lines will be crucial, but line two (Geno’s line) tops the charts.
