In terms of manpower situations, 141 of the 409 points for Kucherov and Stamkos have been scored on the power play, which is 34.47 percent. That's typical of the top forward duos, including Benn and Seguin, who are at 34.43 percent. Like Kucherov and Stamkos, Benn and Seguin traditionally play together.
On a per-game basis, Kucherov and Stamkos have a combined average of 0.95 points per game, which is No. 5. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins are No. 1 at 1.09. They normally play on separate lines.
Kucherov and Stamkos also have performed very well from a shot-based perspective this season. Tampa Bay's share of on-ice shot attempts at 5-on-5 is 53.21 when Stamkos is on the ice, compared to 44.31 when he's off the ice. That works out to a Relative SAT percentage of plus-8.9 percent that is No. 16 among NHL forwards (minimum eight games).
But extending that view back to 2014-15 lessens the extent of that domination. Kucherov has a Relative SAT of plus-4.0 at 5-on-5, which is No. 31 among forwards with at least 100 games, and Stamkos is plus-1.0, which is No. 156. Together, they have a weighted average of plus-2.8, which ranks No. 15 among the 31 top-two forward units used in the scoring comparison.
In this shot-based perspective, the top forward duo is Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins, who are plus-8.7 and plus-7.5 for a weighted average of plus-8.1. Bergeron and Marchand typically play on the same line.
Shot-based metrics can be influenced by how the players are used. Those who frequently are deployed against top opponents, and in the offensive and defensive zones, sometimes can have less impressive shot-based metrics than those who primarily are used in offensive situations and against more secondary opponents.
