Sharks face challenge of 'ridiculous' Blackhawks line

CHICAGO – It is, simply, the best line in hockey.

Hart Trophy favorite Patrick Kane, flashy rookie Artemi Panarin and veteran center Artem Anisimov have been together for virtually the entire season, and according to one website that tracks such statistics, they are the highest-scoring line in the NHL with 35 goals when they are on the ice together. That’s nine more than any other trio.

Kane has a league-leading 32 goals and 76 points. Panarin leads all first-year players with 52 points.

“Everything stems from Kane, being one of the better if not the best playmakers in the league,” Paul Martin said.
