Is Connor McMichael More Impactful at Center?

There probably hasn’t been a Washington Capitals player who has received more inconsistent ice time this season than Connor McMichael. He’s been playing all over the lineup, at different positions, healthy scratched, then thrown back into the thick of it.

A quick and easy way to see this inconsistency is to look at his linemates and see who he’s skated with the most. Of the 572:09 time spent on ice at five on five, McMichael’s most used line is one with Lars Eller and Daniel Sprong. They spent all of 55:56 together, which is just 9.
