If you can't change your league's settings, you have to roll with the punches. That might mean drafting some players into your center slot and other players into your wing positions.
This can be difficult to accomplish at the start of the season. Line configurations are fluid, and there's no guarantee that they'll stay the same for three periods, let alone a full season. If you can find a reliable stack, however, your week-to-week ceiling increases drastically. Stacking linemates has a proven positive correlation in your point total, specifically in head-to-head point formats. Boston is the best example, as the Marchand/Bergeron/Pastrnak unit has been dynamite for years. Targeting other high-octane offenses is a wise move since even if the skaters don't play together at even strength, they'll often team up with the man advantage, which usually provides another bonus for fantasy managers.
