  • The 2020-21 NHL Regular Season Concluded
    The 2020-21 NHL regular season concluded Wednesday, May 19 after the Canucks and Flames played the last of the League’s 868 games in a campaign condensed by the COVID-19 pandemic 105 – Points accumulated by Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid in only 56 games (33-72—105), the highest point total ever by a player during a campaign in which clubs contested a schedule of 56 games or fewer. He became the seventh different player in NHL history to score at least 1.88 points-per-game in a single season (min. 50 GP), a rate that would have had him on pace for 154 points in a typical 82-game season (a scoring mark reached by only Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman). 71 – Percentage of games in 2020-21 decided by a one-goal margin or multiple goals following an empty-net tally (614 of 868 GP), tied for the third-highest percentage in NHL history through 868 games (2015-16: 74%, 644 games; 2018-19: 72%, 622 games; 2019-20: 71%, 613 games). 59 – Years that Gordie Howe had held the title of the League’s all-time games played leader before Sharks forward Patrick Marleau claimed the distinction by skating in his 1,768th regular-season game on April 19. 53 – Games required by Connor McDavid to hit the 100-point mark.

  • Evaluating Team-Level Pace of Play in Ice Hockey Using Spatio
    Playing Fast Not Loose: Evaluating team-level pace of play in ice hockey using spatio-temporal possession data David Yu*, Christopher Boucher, Luke Bornn, Mehrsan Javan SPORTLOGiQ, Montreal, Quebec, Canada *Email: [email protected] 1. Introduction Pace of play is an important characteristic in ice hockey as well as other team-invasion sports. While in basketball pace has traditionally been defined as the number of possessions per 48 minutes, here we focus on pace and movement within a possession, leveraging the tremendous advancements in the capture of spatio-temporal data in team sports in recent years [1]. While much attention has been focused on speed and distance covered at the player level, spatio-temporal datasets also allow for more granular definitions of team-level pace of play such as measures of the speed between successive events or the speed of a possession as a whole. While ice hockey has always been one of the fastest-moving sports, rule and tactical changes in the past 15 years, such as the removal of the rule limiting 2-line passes and the stricter enforcement of obstruction/holding infractions, have placed further emphasis on pace. At the start of the 2016-17 NHL season, Paul Maurice, head coach of the Winnipeg Jets said: "This game is just so fast now... I've seen fast players and I've seen fast teams, it's the first time I thought we had a fast league. The speed, to me, is the one thing that’s changed more than anything. Our team, and the league as well, is as fast as I’ve ever seen it.” [2] Given the emphasis on pace in hockey in recent years, it is surprising that a recent study found a slight negative correlation between various metrics of forward attacking pace and offensive output such as shots and goals [3].

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 19, 2020 Mcdavid, MATTHEWS WIN
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 19, 2020 McDAVID, MATTHEWS WIN ART ROSS, MAURICE “ROCKET” RICHARD TROPHIES NEW YORK (May 19, 2021) – The 2020-21 National Hockey League regular season concluded today with Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid capturing his third Art Ross Trophy as the League’s scoring champion and Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews claiming his first Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy as the NHL’s goal-scoring leader. McDavid registered a League-best 105 points (33-72—105 in 56 GP) – 21 more than the next-closest player (teammate Leon Draisaitl: 31-53—84 in 56 GP) – to earn his third career Art Ross Trophy, adding to back-to-back wins 2016-17 and 2017-18. He became the ninth player in NHL history to claim the award at least three times as well as the third to achieve the feat prior to his 25th birthday, following Wayne Gretzky (5x) and Gordie Howe (3x). McDavid’s 21-point gap over the runner-up was the largest by an NHL scoring champion since 1990-91, when Gretzky (41-122—163 in 78 GP w/ LAK) finished 32 points ahead of Brett Hull (86-45—131 in 78 GP w/ STL). McDavid, who also topped the League in assists (72), power-play assists (28) and power-play points (37), factored on 57.38 percent of Edmonton’s 183 total goals (excluding the shootout) – the highest single-season percentage in NHL history, ahead of Mario Lemieux in 1988-89 (57.35% w/ PIT). He also posted a League- leading 1.88 points per game – the most by any player since 1995-96, when Lemieux averaged 2.30 (69-92—161 in 70 GP w/ PIT).

    NHL MORNING SKATE – JAN. 13, 2021 2020-21 NHL SEASON OPENS WITH FIVE-GAME SLATE After a season like no other, the NHL is set for another unique campaign in 2020-21 that will bring rivalries to the forefront of a truncated 56-game schedule with temporary realignment that will see only divisional play. With added significance in every game, the season begins today with NBCSN hosting a tripleheader and Sportsnet airing two contests from the NHL’s first-ever All-Canadian division. * #NHLStats Pack: Season Openers * #NHLStats Pack: Approaching Milestones in 2020-21 * 2020-21 NHL Season: Did You Know? * #NHLStats Pack: Divisional Notes for 2020-21 * #NHLStats Offseason Summary LIGHTNING TO RAISE BANNER, BEGIN STANLEY CUP DEFENSE For the second time in franchise history and first since 2005-06, the Lightning will open a campaign as defending Stanley Cup champions when they host the Blackhawks on a banner- raising night at AMALIE Arena. * The Lightning and Blackhawks will share a division for the second time after each competing in the Norris Division in 1992-93, Tampa Bay’s inaugural campaign. The Lightning defeated the Blackhawks in their first-ever game on Oct. 7, 1992, noteworthy on account of Chris Kontos scoring four goals in a 7-3 win. * These teams also met in the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, a six-game victory for Chicago. After claiming a title of its own last season, Tampa Bay enters 2020-21 looking to improve upon the record of defending champions in season openers, which stands at 58-25-16 all-time, including a 3-4-3 mark over the last 10 campaigns.
