## Resource

In the NHL, line consistency is a myth—most teams barely keep top lines together for hundreds of minutes, even playoff contenders. The Hurricanes led their division yet their top trio only played 590 minutes. Stars like McDavid crave stability, but injuries, matchups, and performance force constant shuffling. Duos stick longer than trios, but even that doesn’t guarantee success—Winnipeg’s consistent duos still missed the playoffs. Constant change isn’t chaos; it’s the league’s reality.
