They've had some rough shifts but as a whole they actually haven't been that bad together.
TOI: 20:01
Corsi For: 55.8%
xGF%: 60.1%
Offensive Zone: 33.3%
Those are actually pretty good numbers through a couple games, especially with pretty heavy defensive zone starts.
And the big thing is that Hanifin - Andersson tends to work...where Zadorov - Andersson was just terrible.
Zadorov+Andersson
TOI: 40:40
Corsi For: 30.8%
xGF%: 20.6%
Offensive Zone Start: 37.50
So if the coaching staff sees Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov, Andersson as our top 4...then Zadorov-Tanev, and Hanifin-Andersson is really the only choice at this point. Depending how the season goes then I think you could see one of Kylington/Valimaki replace Zadorov in the top 4. But this is the top 4 to start I think.
