Top 5 Best Lines In the NHL Right Now

5 of the NHLs Best Lines Playing in the 2018-2019 Season

NHL success comes in threes. Historically speaking, the best hockey teams have always had stellar line combinations - a perfect mix of athleticism, chemistry, and skill. With the support of the right coach, those lines become formidable and fearsome - so much so that opponents have to change their gameplans. With that said, were going to look at the best lines in the NHL right now and what makes them so good.

Dallas Stars

Line: Jamie Benn / Tyler Seguin / Alexander RadulovThis trio representing the Dallas Stars is far more than just effective - theyre powerhouses. Dating back to last season, these three have produced 44 goals for a plus-20 differential over the course of 83 games. They also have a 64.7 goals-for percentage. Where they excel is at creating opportunities and maintaining possession of the puck significantly more than their teammates. These numbers and characteristics make this line one to fear.

Nashville Predators

Line: Filip Forsberg / Ryan Johansen / Viktor ArvidssonWatch out for the Nashville Predators. Filip Forsberg is a rising star with numbers to back his talent - hes earned 78 points in the last 78 games. Then youve got Arvidsson and who gained 11 points in 11 games this season and Johansen with 13 points in 11 games. This dynamic trio has been very productive with a plus-23 goal differential in 72 games during last and this season. Best of all, they boast a fantastic 67.7 goals-for percentage at even strength.

Vegas Golden Knights

Line: Jonathan Marchessault / William Karlsson / Reilly SmithOne of the more exciting teams to watch, the Vegas Golden Knights have what you can say is a jaw-dropping line. For one, William Karlssons shooting percentage last season was absurd - he had a 23.4 shooting percentage, the third-highest held by any full-time player in one season in the past 20 years. But he is, of course, bolstered by the support of his wingers Smith and Marchessault. Together, they are at a plus-23 in their past 75 games. We can only imagine and watch to see what theyll accomplish in the future.

Boston Bruins

Line: Brad Marchand / Patrice Bergeron / David PastrnakWith a plus-14 goal differential at 5-on-5 over the last 62 games, the Marchand/Bergeron/Pastrnak trio is by far the Boston Bruins best unit. Individually, these three are top performers too. Since 2016, Pastrnak has scored 54 goals with Marchand scoring 53. At the same time, Bergeron has continued to cement himself as the best two-way center in the league. Of course, strength comes in numbers, and these three have reached the pinnacle of what it means to be a dominant line.

Colorado Avalanche

Line: Gabriel Landeskog / Nathan MacKinnon / Mikko RantanenJust a little ahead of the Bruins line, youve got the young (and still peaking) dream team that is Landeskog, MacKinnon and Rantanen of the Colorado Avalanche. Theyre sitting pretty with a plus-30 goal differential in their last 72 games. In that span of the time, theyve scored 59 goals at 5-on-5. And in 12 games this season, all three of them have been very productive - Rantanen led the league with 21 points, Landeskog had 10 goals, and MacKinnon came through with nine goals and nine assists. This line has already shown that they can lead this team to the postseason, and were sure theyll repeat that feat.

Lining Them Up

Theres no denying that the best teams in the league are the ones that have the best lines. And by best, we mean the ones that have the perfect combination of three players who compliment each other in terms of skill and morale. Were certain that the lines mentioned above will continue to make big moves both this season, and we cant wait to see what that will look like.No matter who you cheer for, Fanxchange is your go-to partner for NHL ticket deals.
