Despite a flood of injuries that threatened to submerge the season in adversity, the Jackets rattled off 12 straight games with at least a point to claw back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Jackets went 8-0-4 between Dec. 9 and Jan. 2, finally losing in regulation to the San Jose Sharks a week ago in Columbus. But trouble lurked. The Jackets didn’t have much zip in that one, and the funk lagged into back-to-back games to start this week at Los Angeles and Anaheim. The Blue Jackets won both in find-a-way fashion, but the problems persisted. Poor starts. Goals allowed early in periods. Difficulty clearing their own zone. Intermittent offensive pressure. It all finally caught up with them Thursday night at SAP Center, where the Jackets weren’t able to mask their flaws in another loss to the Sharks — a 3-1 defeat in a disjointed game. “I think the big part of the night was we just didn’t get a sustained forecheck until the end of the game,” captain Nick Foligno said. “We got running around a little bit in our end. That’s what they do, though. They funnel a lot of pucks at the net so it gets you scrambling as a defense, and we allowed that too much tonight.” Actually, they’ve allowed it too much, period. Going back to New Year’s Eve at Nationwide Arena, when the Jackets thumped former teammate Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers 4-1, the Blue Jackets have been outshot in five of their past six games, including 37-28 in that game. They were also outshot by the Kings (37-24) and Ducks (40-27) but won each game after falling behind early. The Sharks — a team that averages close to three shots more per game than it allows — also outshot the Blue Jackets twice in a six-day span, including 33-31 Thursday. That’s not a brand of hockey the Jackets want to continue. Having nine injured players is part of it, as the roster stays afloat on the inspired play of replacements from the Cleveland Monsters, but how long can that last? The Jackets have put together a memorable run to claw their way back into the playoff race amid a sea of adversity, but time has a way of exposing deficiencies. If the Jackets can’t correct theirs quickly, it will be even tougher Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where the Jackets will conclude their four-game western trip against the Golden Knights, who have a slow-start issue of their own to fix. 2 “I don’t think we were sharp,” coach John Tortorella said of the loss to the Sharks. “I don’t think we sustained enough constant forechecking. My biggest concern is just the start of periods. It’s an epidemic right now with our club, even though we’ve won some games.” 3 The Columbus Dispatch: Carlsson patient despite limited NHL time By Brian Hedger – January 10, 2020 SAN JOSE, Calif. — One of the offshoots of the Blue Jackets’ injury plague is hard to miss. He’s a blond Swede who stands 6 feet 5, 192 pounds and was selected 29th overall by the Blue Jackets in the 2015 NHL draft. In case you’ve forgotten, his name is Gabriel Carlsson and he’s a rangy defense- oriented defenseman who’s still striving to make his NHL goals a reality. “Sometimes it takes time,” said Carlsson, 23, who was recalled from the Cleveland Monsters on Dec. 26 along with Swedish forward Jakob Lilja. “Everyone develops differently, but my dream coming here is always to play in the NHL, and that’s what I just keep building for, even when I’m in the minors.” Including this season, the “minors” is where Carlsson has spent the bulk of the past three seasons. After starting 2017-18 in the NHL, he’s been sidetracked by injuries — including a back issue last season — and has slugged it out with the Monsters in the American Hockey League. It’s not the way he envisioned his career path going, especially after making his NHL debut in 2017 and logging five playoff games against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but it’s become his road to the show. “You’ve just got to stick with the process,” said Carlsson, who hasn’t scored in six games since being recalled. “Usually, as they say, it’s not a sprint. It’s kind of a marathon. It usually takes defensemen a little bit longer, and I’m still pretty skinny. I can develop that part of my body more.” Until he does, Carlsson has a challenge to overcome. In the NHL, winning one-on-one defensive battles is paramount to success. Assistant coach Brad Shaw said the job can be done without brute physicality — look no further than Markus Nutivaara — but Carlsson still needs to adapt. “He has really put on a lot of strength, but he’s not a grizzly bear out there,” Shaw said. “He’s not going to maul a guy to death in the corner and, ‘Boy, look at that wrestling match.’ That’s not going to happen. So he has to find a way to go against a team’s best players because as much as we try and match things up, there’s always minutes you play against the top guys. You’ve got to find a way to not be on the wrong side of those equations.” Ratings on the rise The Blue Jackets might have lost a gaggle of star players to free agency last summer, but their interest locally continues to grow. The latest Nielsen ratings for their broadcasts on Fox Sports Ohio are an example, showing an increase of 41 percent in average game rating from the same point of the season a year ago. If their average audience rating of 2.12% of television households holds up through the end of the season, it would top the 2.09% rating in 2016-17 as the highest-rated season in franchise history. 4 FOX Sports Ohio: Local ratings for Blue Jackets games on FOX Sports Ohio up 41%, pacing best in franchise history By Staff – January 10, 2020 According to Nielsen, the FOX Sports Ohio’s 2019-20 Blue Jackets regular season average game rating to date is 2.12 HH, which is up +41% to last year at the same number of games. Last season’s average of 1.61 HH is the third highest ever for the Jackets on FSO. Their second highest rated season currently is their 2008-09 season (1.86 HH), when the Jackets had their first playoff berth. The highest rated season in franchise history is the 2016-17 season (2.09 HH), when the club set numerous team records and made their third trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The current average is up +10% to the average rating at the same number of games in 2016-17 (1.94 HH). 2019-20 mid-season ratings highlights #1 highest rated game of the season to date is the game from Nov. 29 against the Penguins, which posted a 3.08 HH. #2 highest rated game this season to date is the game from Nov. 19 vs. Canadiens, which posted a 2.94 HH. Games in the month of December averaged a 2.33 HH, on pace with the average December game rating in 2016 and up +50% to the average December game rating last year. Five of the top 10 rated games so far this season came in December: 12/23 vs. Islanders 2.93 HH (3rd) 12/31 vs. Panthers 2.87 HH (6th) 12/19 vs. Kings 2.8 HH (7th) 12/3 vs. Coyotes 2.78 HH (8th) 12/5 vs. Rangers 2.77 HH (9th) STREAMING & SOCIAL All Blue Jackets programming televised on FSO streams live on FOX Sports GO.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 22, 2019 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF SECOND-ROUND BERTHS AT STAKE IN GAME 7 DOUBLEHEADER TUESDAY NEW YORK (April 22, 2019) -- Two Stanley Cup Playoff series will be decided in a Game 7 doubleheader Tuesday when the Boston Bruins play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs (7 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, CBC, TVAS), followed by the San Jose Sharks facing the Vegas Golden Knights (10 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, TVAS). The past two playoff series between the Bruins and Maple Leafs have culminated in unprecedented Game 7 drama, both occurring at TD Garden. In 2013, Boston became the first team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal, third-period deficit to win a Game 7 (Boston 5, Toronto 4 ,OT). In 2018, the Bruins became the first team in League history to overcome three deficits of at least one goal to win a Game 7 in regulation (Boston 7, Toronto 4). Five current Bruins appeared in both the 2013 and 2018 contests: goaltender Tuukka Rask, defenseman Zdeno Chara and forwards Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Krejci. Two Maple Leafs players have done so: defenseman Jake Gardiner and forward Nazem Kadri. Chara (0-4--4 in 12 GP) is set to tie an NHL record by playing in his 13th career Game 7, joining all-time co-leaders Patrick Roy and Scott Stevens.

    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – JUNE 22, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * The Lightning matched a franchise playoff record with eight goals to claim an 8-0 victory on home ice and move within one win of their second straight appearance in the Stanley Cup Final. * Brayden Point became the second player in NHL history – and first in 45 years – to post an eight-game goal streak in one postseason, following Reggie Leach who had a 10-game run with the Flyers in 1976. * After three straight one-goal games, including back-to-back overtime contests, the Golden Knights and Canadiens will square off for a 3-2 series lead tonight in Las Vegas. LIGHTNING SCORE EARLY AND OFTEN TO MOVE WITHIN ONE WIN OF FINAL After missing most of his team’s Stanley Cup run in 2020, captain Steven Stamkos (2-1—3) scored two of Tampa Bay’s eight goals as the Lightning benefited from another high-scoring outing at home to push the Islanders to the brink of elimination and move within one victory of advancing to the Stanley Cup Final. * The Lightning, who matched a franchise record for goals in a playoff game, became the fifth team to win a contest in the Conference Finals/Semifinals by a margin of eight or more goals, joining the Canadiens (11: Game 5 of 1944 SF), Oilers (9: Game 1 of 1985 CF), Red Wings (8: Game 2 of 1947 SF) and Bruins (8: Game 2 of 1972 SF). * Tampa Bay is averaging 4.50 goals per game at AMALIE Arena these playoffs, the highest single-postseason total in franchise history and highest by any team at home (min.

However, analyzing these shot maps The tree diagram at the top becomes exponentially more difficult as the number of players/teams increases. For represents how the players 3 subgroups example of this issue, zoom in on the shot heatmaps on the right, now try imagine were split with Ward's linkage Home plate forwards analyzing these and about 360 more players at once. That will get difficult really quickly. hierarchical clustering, resulting Perimeter forwards in 10 colour coded clusters. Defencemen Solution: I propose a framework for grouping NHL players by 5v5 shot location data The heatmap below is a Results separate: 388x388 comparison of the through fitting a shot density polygrid for each player and performing Ward's linkage Perimeter and home plate shooters players' shot maps by Euclidean hierarchical clustering [1] as outlined in the Methodology section. "Dynamic" D-men who produce more shots distance, where dark blue deep in the zone from "static" D-men who Once I have the hierarchical clustering results, I will analyze the composition of each represents very similar while are very highly concentrated in their corner. cluster and compare differences between clusters to search for any interesting skyblue/white represents very different.
