Between the Lines: Week 26

Taking a look at some of the hottest line combinations of the past week.
Let’s go “Between the Lines”.
Lead us forwards…..
Clarke MacArthur – Kyle Turris – Mark Stone (Ottawa)
This Stone kid seems to be the real deal. Talk about coming through in the clutch. This line combined for 16 points last week. The Senators have propelled themselves right into the thick of things in the Eastern Conference playoff race. With a win tonight the Senators will tie the Pittsburgh Penguins for the final wild card spot. This line should remain hot down the stretch as the Senators push for a birth in the post-season. Turris has shaken off his early season woes and in the process he has shown to all that he is in fact a true #1 centre man. MacArthur has scored six points in his last six games and it couldn’t have been at a better time. Watch out for Stone next season as this guy has a sick release and he plays the game hard.
Jamie Benn – Tyler Seguin – Valeri Nichushkin (Dallas)
It really doesn’t matter who the third piece of this line is as long as Benn-Seguin are together. Benn has pushed his point total to 80 on the year leaving him one point behind Sid the kid. It’s been a really crappy season for the Stars as they will miss the post-season, however, the future looks bright with some changes. Benn and Seguin combined for 10 points in three games last week. Benn has been doing more of the scoring as of late potting four goals in his last three games. The sky is the limit for these two and whoever the Stars decide to add to this tandem will reap major benefits next fantasy season. If the Stars can find a reliable third piece for this top line (possibly Nichushkin), steady goaltending, and a rock in the back end… watch out next year.
