SUNRISE, Fla. -- The line of Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe encapsulates everything that makes the Florida Panthers so dominant in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The three players relentlessly forecheck opponents. Their offensive skill is elite, as they're three of the top four scorers during the Panthers' postseason run. They can shut down opponents, averaging 1.98 goals against per 60 minutes of play at 5-on-5. Thanks to Tkachuk and Bennett, they're uniquely antagonistic, dishing it out and taking it, and then dishing out some more.
That combination of attributes makes them perhaps the most dangerous line in the playoffs.
