Thanks to Tkachuk and Bennett, they're uniquely antagonistic, dishing it out and taking it, and then dishing out some more.
That combination of attributes makes them perhaps the most dangerous line in the playoffs.
Since Verhaeghe bounces between lines in the regular season, there's not been the opportunity for the fans or Panthers players to formally name this line.
Over the past four playoff runs for the Panthers, Verhaeghe has 11 game-winning goals.
Though Maurice couldn't stick with Barkov, Verhaeghe really clicked with Bennett and Tkachuk in the playoffs"I think our line works because we all kind of bring a different element to the line.
