The bulk of their play together was at the start of the year. I don’t even recall any in December, though if there was, it was at the start. I think they’ve both gotten their legs as the season progressed. Huberdeau and Pelletier worked together fairly well and Lindholm is a lot like Pelletier - dogged, hard on the puck, able to get a shot off quickly. It’s worth a shot to see if things have changed.

Yeah, in 319 minutes together Dube - Lindholm - Toffoli are a whoppoing +2 (22 GF, 20 GA).
In 165 together Huberdeau - Lindholm - Toffoli are even (4 GF, 4 GA).
The amount of production is certainly worth questioning...but ya know, the results on either side of it are "meh". Neither line was driving success at even strength.
The fact that Sutter has been so sticky with his lines despite their relative "meh" and general lack of team success is silly to me.
I'd trot out:
Pelletier - Kadri - Dube
Huberdeau - Lindholm - Toffoli
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
Lewis - Ruzicka - Duehr
