D pairs by projection, PP by projected PP points, PK by SH ice time. Rosters refresh daily. Pick a team:
About projected lines
Projected line combinations and defence pairs for all 32 NHL teams, with the power-play and penalty-kill units alongside them. Line one through four and both special-teams units, updated as camps and injuries move people around.
Where a beat writer has confirmed a line we use that; otherwise it comes from the last game's real deployment and our own model of who plays with whom. This is the page for the question behind most draft decisions, which is not how good a player is but who he plays with and how many minutes he gets.
