Playing together last year, Malkin and Rust as a duo were on the ice for 643:25, generating a 52.38% Corsi-for percentage and a 56.63% high-danger chances percentage.When we consider that he also adds time on the first power-play unit, at his prices compared to other options on the slate, Malkin looks reasonable for the money, and he centers a line that we will want to work with in constructing lineups. Larkin is slated to play in between Vladislav Namestnikov and Filip Zadina, a line that has been together for just 12:40 of ice time so far but has generated a quality 52.94 Corsi-for percentage.As the pivot Larkin has two goals and two assists already this season. To start this season, he is seeing 19:04 per game, the highest minutes share of his career by a full 90 seconds, getting time on the second line and with the top power-play unit.Fiala has put 19 shots on goal in the team’s first four games (4.75 a game), though he has failed to convert so far. The patchwork unit features Vrana on the left, Tom Wilson on the right and Backstrom in the middle, and there is sneaky scoring upside at value on both sites.Vrana is off to a hot start this season, with two goals and an assist in the team’s first four games. Coming off a 65-point season in which he put up 23 points on the power play, Josi has one helper and 13 shots on goal (4.33 a game) over the team’s first three games. Spurgeon has seen an average of 25:04 on the ice to start the season, a significant increase from his 22:34 average last year that saw him produce a 32-point season, with 13 of those coming on the power play.This year Spurgeon has not hit the points board, but he has contributed with 1.25 blocked shots and two shots on goal per game.
