The hottest lines in fantasy hockey for Week 13.
This week saw the shortened week drive everyone's bottom line nuts. Now it is time to go "Between The Lines".
Lead Us Forwards
Martin Erat–Martin Hanzal–Sam Gagner (Arizona) – What the hell? Is this thing working correctly? Oh, it is. I guess we should talk about them as they topped the list with eleven combined points. Arizona needed some line to start clicking because Mike Smith is not going to stop too many pucks anytime soon it seems. The fact that Sam Gagner had six points this week went almost completely unnoticed by most of the fantasy universe. It was like it never happened. This line is not bad but they are not world beaters either.
Tyler Johnson–Nikita Kucherov–Ondrej Palat (Tampa Bay) – You thought the Steven Stamkos line would be here but shame on you. Johnson is a player I have touted from day one and he has not disappointed along with Nikita Kucherov. This trio had ten points when together and could have had more. It is a nice "second" line to hop on when the Stamkos line is constantly jammed up by the opposition. Last week was also kind of goofy when you consider this was the top played line at even strength at 17.4% which is not saying much.
