Over the past several years of their dominance, the Chicago Blackhawks have been a team that kills their opponents with depth, featuring a relentless attack through all four forward lines.
The Blackhawks are off to a 2-1 start this season, much to the credit of the top two lines. Artemi Panarin, Patrick Kane, and Artem Anisimov have lit up the New York Islanders and New York Rangers through their first three games, and certainly have stole the spotlight. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks’ top line of Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, and Teuvo Teravainen have been steadily producing, on both sides of the puck.
