Not necessarily. They used these combos for some parts of the season but not for "a solid amount". Ruff likes to change up the lines a lot. Bratt was usually with Mercer and Johnsson. Siegenthaler was mostly with Severson. Sharangovich was mostly in the bottom 6. Tatar barely played with Hughes. Kuokkanen has never been with Mercer or Johnsson. And more[/quote]
Weren't these not the opening night D pairings? Idk why I thought that, but they looked super familiar seeing Seig/Subban together and Smith/Severson. Maybe im thinking end of year last year. And I thought beginning of the year Lindy tried to keep the Hughes, Kuok, Shara line together before the wingers fell off a cliff/Hughes got hurt. That's why i felt like the only line that significantly changed for me was 3rd line here.
But either way, looks good.
