Sam Carrick
#10C · Buffalo Sabres
Six goals in his last ten games, at thirty-four, in ten minutes a night.
Louis Crevier

How they were used
2025-26 · 82 games
Measured from shift charts at five-on-five, not projected. Units are built from the strongest partnership outward and ordered by how much they were used; the percentage is the share of the first player’s five-on-five ice time spent alongside each linemate. A low number means the club never settled on a combination. Players who have gone are marked — either to another club, or off an NHL roster altogether, which covers retirement and an unsigned summer alike.
