The Toronto Maple Leafs do it.
The Edmonton Oilers do it. Every team in the NHL does it.
In the last 20 years the NHL, like all sports, has undergone a sea change caused by the analytical analysis of statistics. During this time, strategy has also evolved significantly (though, at the NHL level, much more slowly than at the amateur level).
Still, NHL teams put their players on the ice in the same way they always have, more or less.
That is to say there are 12 forwards, on four lines, and there are six defenseman, who play in pairs, and who play more minutes than forwards do.
