Phil Housley’s decision to place Jason Pominville on a line with Jack Eichel and Jeff Skinner (a relatively unpopular move at the time) has certainly paid off, hasn’t it? Since skating as a trio for the first time against the Los Angeles Kings on October 20, they have combined for 16 goals and 22 assists in eight games.
As it stands, Skinner, Eichel and Pominville are on pace for 87, 93 and 77 points on the year, respectively. In all likelihood, that projection won’t hold up through 82 games (at least not for all three of them), but at the moment, their line is one of, if not the most effective in the NHL.
