Outside of the top line, every skater has sort of played with everyone, so Mangiapane's goals have likely been assisted by a shmorgishborg of players. Actually kind of shows how good Mangiapane is, he can play with any one and produce. It's just a matter of optimizing who he plays with and keeping him territorially in the offensive zone.

Monahan's slate

Backlund deserves better linemates for sure, but he's certainly had a better chance of it. Almost 300 minutes with Coleman/Dube or Mangiapane. Monahan about 170
