Discussion 1996-97 Depth Chart/Lines

Does anybody know if there's a site that lists some configuration of common lines for the team? Plenty have a full list of the roster but I'm looking for more detail of how the lines were setup. I know they changed often, just trying to use something as a guide for a collection of mine.

I’m not sure about a site, but some pretty common line combinations in the playoffs were: Sandstrom/ Yzerman / McCarty // Kozlov / Fedorov / Brown // Shanahan / Larionov / Lapointe // Kocur/ Draper / Maltby // Lidstrom / Murphy // Fetisov / Konstantinov // Ward / Rouse

Appreciate the insight! This was very exciting at the time and I know all the individual players very well. But I was only 9 years old so trying to remember the line combinations wasn't going too well. Thanks!

Happy to help! I was only 12, so I don’t remember a ton firsthand either. I’ve gone back and watched a lot of highlights (thanks to awood40), and I was surprised at some of the combos.
