Cizikas was blunt. “I have no idea,” he says when asked if he recalled the first game the three played together as a line. Clutterbuck and Martin tried a little harder but couldn’t get their facts straight. The exchange sounded like an old married couple trying to remember where they last saw a certain other couple.
” Part of the reason they’ve lasted so long — from that 2014-16 run of genuine impact to the reunion year of 2018-19 and on into the recent seasons — is timing.

The Identity Line has been together longer than any NHL line in memory.
