Their six goals have come in 86.08 minutes of shared ice time. For comparison, Philadelphia's line of Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and Jakub Voracek leads the NHL with 12 even-strength goals in 144.05. In fact, eight of the 10 lines that rank ahead of Kane, Eichel and Pominville have skated 115-plus minutes together.
"I think we've got some chances, I just think we need to capitalize better on them, myself included," Eichel said. "I'd like to see us be more consistent on a shift-to-shift basis of getting that sustained pressure in the offensive zone, continuing to successfully make our plays that we're trying to make.
"It just takes time. You don't build chemistry overnight, you don t build it over the course of there week. It just takes time to figure out somebody's ins and outs of what they're thinking on the ice. I think we're trying to still do that now, and practice is a good time to get used to each other."
