Through three playoff games, it’s pretty clear: the Predators’ offense runs through it’s top line.
Of course, we already knew that. The Ryan Johansen, Filip Forsberg, and Viktor Arvidsson line accounted for 180 points in the regular season, which was 29% of the Predators offense. Every time the Preds needed a big shift or a timely goal, the JOFA line delivered, especially in the second half of the season.
That chemistry has continued into the postseason. They’ve not only been a joy to watch, they’ve been absolutely killing the Blackhawks up and down the ice.
