COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Trying to come up with optimal line combinations in preparation of the Penguins getting completely healthy is a futile task. In the event they do have their full complement of skaters, it isn't likely to last long. It never does.
That's never stopped me -- or any of you -- from doing it anyway.
With Jason Zucker's return to the lineup nearing, possibly as early as tonight against the Wild, and Brock McGinn not far behind him, I pondered which set of 12 forwards would give the Penguins the best chance for success during the postseason.
