NHL Stats Pack * All four teams involved were among the top four in their conference in 2019-20: Colorado (No. 2) and Vegas (No. 3) in the Western Conference, and Boston (No. 1) and Philadelphia (No. 4) in the Eastern Conference. They all advanced to at least the Second Round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs. * These four teams are led by two of the longest-serving and two of the newest captains in the NHL. Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux and Colorado’s Gabriel Landeskog each received the “C” in 2012-13; their nine seasons as captain trail only Sidney Crosby (14), Jonathan Toews (13), Alex Ovechkin (12) and Ryan Getzlaf (11) for the longest active tenures. Vegas’ Mark Stone and Boston’s Patrice Bergeron each received the distinction this season – Stone became the first captain in Golden Knights history, while Bergeron became the first player other than Zdeno Chara to where the “C” for the Bruins since Joe Thornton in 2005-06. * Nevada will become the 13th different state (plus the District of Columbia) to host an NHL regular-season outdoor game. In 2018, Nevada became the 16th different state to host a Stanley Cup Final game since the NHL was founded in 1917-18. * The two games in the NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe series will be played at 6,224 feet above sea level, second-highest for an NHL regular-season outdoor game behind the 2020 Stadium Series between the Avalanche and Kings at Falcon Stadium (6,621 feet). Colorado also competed in the outdoor game with the third- highest such figure (5,200 feet; 2016 Stadium Series at Coors Field vs. Detroit). * The Flyers and Bruins will become the third set of teams to have an outdoor rematch (also PHI vs. PIT and DET vs. TOR), following the 2010 Winter Classic – a 2-1 comeback win by Boston at Fenway Park. David Krejci set up the tying goal, while Patrice Bergeron had the primary assist in overtime. * Nine players who dressed in the 2010 Winter Classic remain in the NHL, with five still with the Bruins (Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Tuukka Rask) or Flyers (Claude Giroux, James van Riemsdyk). The others: Jeff Carter (LAK), Zdeno Chara (WSH), Braydon Coburn (OTT) and Blake Wheeler (WPG). * The backup goaltenders from the 2010 Winter Classic were current NBC analyst Brian Boucher for the Flyers and Tuukka Rask for the Bruins. * The Golden Knights (Marc-Andre Fleury, Robin Lehner) and Avalanche (Philipp Grubauer, Pavel Francouz) each have two goaltenders with outdoor experience, though all are seeking their first such victory. The Vegas tandem is a combined 0-2-1 outdoors (Fleury: 0-2-0 in 2 GP w/ PIT; Lehner: 0-0-1 in 1 GP w/ BUF), while the Avalanche duo is 0-1-0 after Francouz recorded a loss in relief of Grubauer in the 2020 Stadium Series. * Bridgestone NHL Outdoors Saturday is to be the third of four straight games between Vegas and Colorado. NHL teams had never faced the same opponent more than three straight times in a regular season before 2020-21. * A team participating in an NHL regular-season outdoor game has advanced to the Stanley Cup Final later that season in each of the past four years. The Penguins defeated the Flyers 4-2 in the 2017 Stadium Series at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh and less than four months later captured their second consecutive Stanley Cup. The Capitals defeated the Maple Leafs 5-2 in the 2018 Stadium Series at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md., and went on to win the first title in franchise history. The Bruins skated past the Blackhawks 4-2 in the 2019 Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium before falling to the Blues in Game 7 of the Final. The Stars staged a 4-2 comeback win against the Predators in the 2020 Winter Classic at Cotton Bowl Stadium before navigating through a pause in the season to reach Game 6 of the Final nearly nine months later. * In addition to the above, the Flyers reached the 2010 Stanley Cup Final after facing the Bruins in the Winter Classic earlier that season. 0 – Number of NHL games played atop a golf course. The previous 30 NHL regular-season outdoor games have been hosted by football venues (19 GP), baseball parks (10 GP) and a soccer stadium (1 GP). 1 – Number of players born in Nevada to have been selected in the NHL Draft or to have played an NHL game. Gage Quinney (Las Vegas, Nev.), an undrafted forward signed by Vegas in 2018, has played three games. 5 – Number of goaltenders to face 40+ shots against in an NHL regular-season outdoor game, including three participating in NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe (Brian Elliott, Robin Lehner and Marc-Andre Fleury). 7 – Number of NHL regular-season outdoor games to require overtime (5 decided in OT, 2 in SO), including two involving Philadelphia (2010 Winter Classic vs. Boston and 2019 Stadium Series vs. Pittsburgh). 12 – Number of outdoor games decided by a one-goal margin. An additional five have been a multi-goal margin following an empty-net goal. 15 – Comeback wins in the League’s 30 outdoor games (50.0%), including four of the last five (2020 Winter Classic, 2019 Heritage Classic, 2019 Stadium Series, 2019 Winter Classic). That includes six wins by teams that trailed by multiple goals and seven victories by teams that faced a third-period deficit (of any margin). 16 – Wins by the team that scores first in the NHL’s 30 outdoor games to date (16-9-5), including an 11-3-3 record in the last 17 such contests. 17 – Wins by the road team in the NHL’s 30 outdoor games to date (road teams: 17-9-4; home teams: 13-14-3) 44.6 – The average high temperature, in degree Fahrenheit (7ºC), for Stateline, Nev., on both Feb. 20 and Feb. 21, according to accuweather.com. 836 – Number of players and coaches who have participated in the NHL’s 30 regular-season outdoor games to date (719 skaters, 82 goaltenders, 35 coaches). 1,823:23 – Total playing time, in minutes and seconds, of the previous 30 NHL regular-season outdoor games. 1,622,081 – Attendance for the NHL’s previous 30 regular-season outdoor games totals (54,069 per game). These contests will be the first two NHL games staged in the open air, without fans. * Eighteen players on the Avalanche roster have played in an NHL outdoor regular-season game, plus head coach Jared Bednar. Sixteen of those players were with the team in the 2020 Stadium Series against the Kings, including goaltenders Philipp Grubauer and Pavel Francouz who split duties after the former left due to injury. Forwards Gabriel Landeskog (0-2—2) and Nathan MacKinnon (1-1—2) and defenseman Erik Johnson have played in each of Colorado’s two prior outdoor games (also 2016 Stadium Series). * Brandon Saad and Nazem Kadri are the only Avalanche players with outdoor experience that does not include a contest in an Avalanche uniform. Saad has 1-1—2 in three outdoor games with the Blackhawks, while Kadri has one goal in three appearances with the Maple Leafs. * Brandon Saad has a career +5 rating in outdoor games, the highest plus-minus rating for a forward in outdoor game history and tied with Anton Stralman for second among all skaters behind Marc Staal (+6). * Nazem Kadri scored his only outdoor goal in the 2018 Stadium Series, for the Maple Leafs in a game in which current teammates Andre Burakovsky and Philipp Grubauer were members of the opposing Capitals (Grubauer dressed but did not play). Vegas’ Chandler Stephenson also played for Washington in that game. * Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, one of three players born in France to play an NHL outdoor game (also Cristobal Huet and Xavier Ouellet), made his outdoor debut with the Flyers in the 2017 Stadium Series – a game in which Marc-Andre Fleury served as backup goaltender for the Penguins. * The Avalanche will become the fifth team to play in an outdoor game in consecutive seasons, following a 3- 1 loss to the Kings in the 2020 Stadium Series at Falcon Stadium. The Blackhawks (4; 2013-14 – 2016-17), Kings (2; 2013-14 – 2014-15), Red Wings (2; 2015-16 – 2016-17) and Maple Leafs (2; 2016-17 – 2017-18) also did so. * Colorado owns a perfect 3-0-0 home record against Vegas (VGK: 0-2-1). * The Avalanche were hosts for the warmest regular-season outdoor game on record, with a puck-drop temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18ºC) in the 2016 Stadium Series game at Coors Field in Denver. * Cale Makar (13-49—62 in 68 GP) is on track to have the sixth-most points by a defenseman through 70 career regular-season games, behind Mark Howe (24-54—78), Harry Cameron (50-25—75), Brian Leetch (20-51— 71), Larry Murphy (13-54—67) and Sprague Cleghorn (37-28—65). * Cale Makar is within one of 50 career assists during the regular season (68 GP). The 22-year-old is set to shatter the Avalanche/Nordiques benchmark for fewest games by a defenseman to accumulate 50 NHL assists; Jeff Brown currently holds the distinction at 108 games played. * Cale Makar can tie Brian Leetch (69 GP; 1988-89 w/ NYR) for the fourth-fewest games to reach 50 career assists among defensemen should he hit the milestone in his next game. Makar would trail only Larry Murphy (62 GP; 1980-81 w/ LAK), Mark Howe (65 GP; 1979-80 w/ HFD) and Stefan Persson (66 GP; 1977-78 w/ NYI).

  • Vegas Beats Winnipeg with Stick Jets Livid Goal Wasn't Overturned After Hellebuyck Slashed in Head
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/vegas-downs-jets-3-2-to-remain-on-top-of-western- conference-472272033.html Vegas beats Winnipeg with stick Jets livid goal wasn't overturned after Hellebuyck slashed in head By: Mike McIntyre A heavyweight battle of the Western Conference’s top-two teams delivered in spades Thursday night. And while the Vegas Golden Knights skated away with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, it was a controversial call earlier in the game — and Winnipeg’s reaction to it — that will surely reverberate all the way to the NHL’s head office. We take you back to late in second period, with the teams locked in a 1-1 tie and Vegas on the power play. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck couldn’t quite squeeze a shot from the blue-line, and the puck sat loose behind him just inches from the goal-line. Vegas forward James Neal, apparently trying to cash in, took a wild swing with his stick that caught Hellebuyck flush in the head. Neal’s twig broke in half, the blade spinning towards the corner boards as the proverbial smoking gun. Only there was no penalty call on the play and no whistle. Erik Haula then pounced on the loose puck, knocking it home for the go-ahead tally. Winnipeg protested, and the two referees huddled with the linesman for a few seconds before ruling it a goal. Jets head coach Paul Maurice challenged for goaltender interference. Following a lengthy review, referee Ghislain Hebert ruled the original call stood — even though it was clear as day Neal slashed Hellebuyck in the face with great force.

  • A Great Season for Aurora's Rob Thomas
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Thu Sep 30 17:47:02 2021 / +0000 GMT A great season for Aurora's Rob Thomas By Robert Belardi Before the season was halted due to COVID-19, Aurora native and centreman for the St. Louis Blues Robert Thomas was showing signs of improvement in his second season in the NHL. The Stanley Cup Champion recorded eight points in his last 10 games, including an 11-point month in February alone. His lone goal in that spell came against the Chicago Blackhawks at home, back on February 25 to bring the Blues within one goal in the second period. A cross-ice pass from David Perron found Thomas alone in front of goal and the 20-year-old roofed the puck short side. In total this year, Thomas has recorded 10 goals and 32 assists, along with a plus-minus rating of nine. He recorded nine goals and 24 assists in his rookie season last year. He's a quick skater, an agile forward with a nose for the puck and vision like a hawk down the ice. According to SB Nation writer Dan Buffa, written on March 6, Thomas belongs in St. Louis for a long time. In fact, Thomas was almost traded from St. Louis in exchange for Ryan O'Reilly to Buffalo on July 1, 2018. How different the roster would have been if he left. Thankfully, the Blues valued him more than that. The 20th overall draft pick in 2017 adds depth in the centre position that has O'Reilly and Brayden Schenn in the second and first line above him.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.

    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons Joseph Wharton Research Scholars Wharton School 2017 What Does It Mean To Draft eP rfectly? An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League Namita Nandakumar University of Pennsylvania Follow this and additional works at: http://repository.upenn.edu/joseph_wharton_scholars Part of the Business Commons Recommended Citation Nandakumar, N. (2017). "What Does It Mean To Draft eP rfectly? An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League," Joseph Wharton Research Scholars. Available at http://repository.upenn.edu/joseph_wharton_scholars/26 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. http://repository.upenn.edu/joseph_wharton_scholars/26 For more information, please contact [email protected]. What Does It Mean To Draft eP rfectly? An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League Abstract We define what it means for an National Hockey League (NHL) team to have been successful in drafting, and use this retrospective framework to determine if any teams exhibited a sustained edge in drafting from 2000 to 2009. At a high level, we compare actual draft outcomes to teams’ perfect draft outcomes. The perfect draft can be thought of as what would happen if a general manager (GM) could redo a draft with complete knowledge of prospects’ career values as well as other teams’ choices. A prospect’s career value is defined here as aggregate Point Shares (from hockey-reference.com ) through the 2015-16 NHL season, though any valuation metric can be used. When drafting perfectly, a GM picks the best player available as is commonly prescribed, but they start with their last pick and work backwards.
