Hi all!
I've recently been following some games, via watching the scores come in only and it brought up a question for me.
Quite often a player will score, and they will be assisted by players from different lines (first line assisting 3rd for example).
What causes this? Are the lines flexible during a game?
It also looks to me like the defensive players are included in the lines as well, based on the lineups I've seen. Do they often rotate as a 5 or do the defensive and offensive lines rotate seperately, causing 3rd offensive line to pair up with 1st defensive line for example?
Lastly I can find absolutely no information on power play lines. Do teams have power play lines during matches? Or do they just continue to play with whoever is currently playing?
Thanks for the help!
