Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> of the Colorado Avalanche for the most team 5-on-5 shot attempts for among forwards when each has been on the ice (64) in the playoffs. Stankoven is also tied for the best team 5-on-5 shot attempts differential (plus-26) among forwards when he\u2019s been on the ice this postseason.<\/p>\nThe Hall-Stankoven-Blake line has outscored Ottawa 3-0 when they\u2019ve been on the ice together at 5-on-5. Stankoven also ranks in the 94th percentile this postseason in miles skated in a single game (4.32 in Game 2, which went to double overtime) and ranked in the 97th percentile in offensive zone time percentage (47.3) this regular season.<\/p>\n
3. Chemistry with linemates<\/p>\n
Hall has assisted on each of Stankoven\u2019s three goals this postseason, including two primary assists, while Blake has assisted on two of the goals, including the other primary assist.<\/p>\n
Hall, who won the Hart Trophy with the New Jersey Devils in 2017-18, also excels in 20-plus mph speed bursts (leads Hurricanes with 17; sixth in entire NHL) this postseason, showing he’s still a high-impact player at 34 years old.<\/p>\n
Blake has the best even-strength offensive zone time percentage (47.6; 96th percentile) of the three linemates this postseason. Blake was tied with Hall for 10th in the entire\u00a0NHL in offensive zone time percentage at all strengths (47.7) this regular season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stankoven, who’s emerging as a bona fide No. 2 center, could continue to be an X-factor for the Hurricanes as they seek their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final since winning the championship in\u00a02006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2.
