Matchups (5v5)

5v5 only. Pick a unit to see the share of its 5v5 time each opposing forward line was on against it; a line counts as on with two of its three forwards. Time against no named line is mixed. Units are named LW–C–RW and LD–RD, with their 5v5 time together; a dotted name's position is inferred from faceoffs and handedness. BUF: no disjoint fourth line this game.
