“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
I decided to mirror the Blackhawks’ current lines in my sim. That means Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Strome on the third line.
I also put both on the first powerplay unit, as it goes in real life. They average about 15:30 TOI per game. I also have penalty slider set to 4 for my sims.
DeBrincat gets 60-70 points, Strome 55-65 points from the third line role. Both players score as much of more than Toews and Saad so from the first line with ~18 minutes TOI.
Also, I reloaded a few times and left everything the same but swapped DeBrincat and Saad. DeBrincat scored LESS with first line ice time and Toews as his partner.
Has anyone had a similar experience and is this a thing EA has built in where good players perform well on the third line?
