Almost every franchise has what hockey fans like to call “Dynamic Duos”. No, I’m not talking duos like Batman & Robin. The NHL’s definitive version is the one-two punch Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri provided the Oilers during the 1980s. Other great duos were the Buffalo Sabres’ Pat Lafontaine and Alexander Mogilny or Brett Hull and Adam Oates for the St. Louis Blues.
Normally these guys need to play on the same line to be a dynamic duo, but not always. Take the current duos of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in Pittsburgh or Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in Edmonton.
