Tyler Bozak–Phil Kessel-James Van Riemsdyk (Toronto) — Like Jason Voorhees, this trio seems to find their way on this list more often than not. The line frequency at even strength has the top line number one at 32.5% but not by much. However, they are played 60.2% of the time on Toronto's power play or about 1:12 for every two minutes. Honestly I thought it would be more but they did have seven points combined. Phil Kessel can carry Tyler Bozak to another very good fantasy season while James Van Riemsdyk just continues to keep on keeping on. Will Nazem Kadri ever get a chance on the first line? That doesn't appear likely.

Defend This

Mark Giordano–T.J. Brodie (Calgary) — They were lightly mentioned the last two weeks but this week they are the top dogs with six points when on the ice together. Their points percentage on ice was 86.7% as T.J. Brodie led the duo with four points to Giordano's three. The duo was seventh and eighth in ice time on the week. Expect them to be in or close to the top ten from here on out as Calgary has to rely on them more. Point streaks aside, these two should be on your fantasy hockey team one way or the other. Even their power-play potential is top-five-duo worthy according to Neil Parker.

Mike Green-Nate Schmidt (Washington) — Yes I am scared but Mike Green was a fantasy gem last week with four points. The duo overall had five points and even for daily fantasy purposes, I played Green against Florida and was rewarded pretty handsomely. It's a funny business sometimes and oddball pairings will occasionally appear here early in the season. In season long leagues, it is a marathon and not a sprint. Don\t panic until you see the next line duo because yes this stings.

Victor Hedman–Anton Stralman(Tampa Bay) — So Victor Hedman was on his way to an unbelievable fantasy hockey season until he broke his finger blocking a shot. Surgery was needed and he will miss 4-6 weeks. Hedman had four more points this week and was on his way to an Erik Karlsson like or better campaign. Anton Stralman was no slouch with a couple points but figures to move up to the number one power play unit with the Hedman injury. Who will be on Stralman's side at even strength? That is the real question. Some say Matt Carle and others disagree. It could even be Radko Gudas or another option. Just stay tuned.

As always you can follow me @ChrisWasselTHW and thanks for reading. See you next week with four more line combination and three pairings for "Between The Lines".
