from Scott Cullen of TSN,
Early in the season, we took a look at which line deserved to be called the best in the NHL. Now that the NHL season is well into the second half, it’s a good time to take a deeper look at which lines have been best.
Given that some lines have played together much more than others, I’ve set a minimum number of 400 even-strength shifts to qualify a line for this list.
While the most value of a line comes from even-strength production, that doesn’t mean that other production is irrelevant in determining the value of an individual player, so overall production (including power play and shorthanded) counts towards an individual player’s rating.

Datsyuk, Hossa, and Holmstrom is number 2, and Datsyuk, Franzen, and Holmstrom is number 5. Given a few hundred more even strength shifts together, it’s a safe bet that Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Cleary would be somewhere in the top 5, too. There’s a lot of reasons the Red Wings are a very good team this year, but the biggest reason of them all comes Yekaterinburg, Russia.
