Line switching is a consistent fixture of the game of hockey. Coaches will play around with lines at the beginning of the season to see which players fit best where, the lines with be juggled a bit some more when things aren’t exactly clicking right in a game, and sometimes you just have to replace players who are injured and out. If one NHL team has seen it all in the way of line juggling, it’s been the Dallas Stars.
Granted, the Stars’ circumstances this past season almost necessitated constant line changes, what with players dropping like flies on and off of the IR list, and new guys coming up from the AHL to fill in.
