They might, but they might also have the worst first line in the NHL. Lets look at how the Bruins stack up in a few different ways!

Theres been some talk about what to call a first liner, a second line player, and so on. I thought I would look at it a few different ways just using points. My criteria was the top 390 forwards (13 per team) in time on ice at each situation, and the top 210 defensemen (7 per team) with the same time on ice restrictions. I looked at their raw point totals, all situations points as a rate stat, and then narrowed that even further to just their even strength points per 60.
