For Immediate Release May 12, 2021 Vegas Golden Knights FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 12, 2021 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS GOALTENDERS MARC-ANDRE FLEURY AND ROBIN LEHNER COMBINE TO WIN WILLIAM M. JENNINGS TROPHY NEW YORK (May 12, 2021) – The Vegas Golden Knights tandem of Marc-Andre Fleury and Robin Lehner have won the William M. Jennings Trophy as the goaltenders who played for the team allowing the fewest goals. Vegas allowed a League-low 124 goals in 56 games, four fewer than its closest competitor (NYI: 128 GA). The minimum games played requirement of 25 games was prorated to 17 appearances due to the 56-game schedule, making both Fleury (26-10-0, 1.98 GAA, .928 SV%, 6 SO) and Lehner (13-4-2, 2.29 GAA, .913 SV%, 1 SO) eligible for the award – a first for the Golden Knights. Fleury, who climbed two spots into third place on the NHL’s all-time wins list in 2020-21, ranks among the League leaders in wins (3rd; 26), shutouts (3rd; 6), goals-against average (4th; 1.98) and save percentage (5th; .928). Fleury is the first goaltender in League history to claim his first individual NHL Award in his 17th season or later. Lehner, who won the award with the New York Islanders in 2018-19, is the seventh goaltender to claim the honor with multiple clubs (also Ed Belfour, Jaroslav Halak, Dominik Hasek, Manny Fernandez, Patrick Roy and Roman Turek). This is the sixth NHL Award collected by the Golden Knights, adding to the five earned in their inaugural season, 2017-18: Lady Byng Memorial Trophy (William Karlsson), Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award (Deryk Engelland), Jack Adams Award (Gerard Gallant), Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year Award (George McPhee) and the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl as Western Conference champions. Vegas (40-14-2, 82 points), the current No. 1 seed in the NHL standings, is one of two teams still in contention for the 2020-21 Presidents’ Trophy – the Honda West Division rival Colorado Avalanche (38-13-4, 80 points) sit two points back with one game remaining (May 13 vs. Los Angeles Kings). The Avalanche (34) hold the Regulation Wins tiebreaker against the Golden Knights (30). ### (5/12/21) .

    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.

  • Phys-Ed Pre-Visit Activity
    PHYS-ED PRE-VISIT ACTIVITY Activity 1: Rebuild Many NHL teams are finding that the older arenas no longer satisfy the needs of a competitive, contemporary professional organization. As a result, the traditional hockey arenas are being gradually replaced by larger, revenue-generating, state-of-the-art sports complexes. 1. Determine a host city for a new Hockey Franchise. Using a city street map, find a suitable location, keeping in mind central areas. Design a unique, new arena for a new hockey franchise. In your design, consider: ice size access to dressing rooms audience size & distribution press boxes luxury boxes advertising parking and public washrooms public relations ice maintenance services for players and fans handicapped patrons non-hockey functions atmosphere transportation 2. Through independent research, examine the changes you have noticed from older rinks to new rinks. How have they adapted over the years and how do you anticipate further changes? _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ HOCKEY HALL OF FAME SENIOR EDUCATION PROGRAM 1 PHYS-ED HALL-VISIT ACTIVITIES Hint: To help you find the answers, use the guide map found at the back. 1.

  • Goal Prevention 2004 a Review of Goaltending and Team Defense Including a Study of the Quality of ’
    Goal Prevention 2004 a review of goaltending and team defense including a study of the quality of a hockey ’shots allowed Copyright Alan Ryder 2004 Goal Prevention 2004 Page 2 Introduction I recently completed an assessment of “”in the NHL for the 2002-03 “”season (http://www.HockeyAnalytics.com/Research.htm). That study revealed that the quality of shots allowed varied significantly from team to team and was not well correlated with the number of shots allowed on goal. The consequence of that study was an improved ability to assess the goal prevention performance of teams and their goaltenders. This paper applies the same methods to the analysis of the 2003-04 “”season, focusing more on the results than the method. Shot Quality In summary, the approach used to assess the quality of shots allowed by a team is: 1. Collect, from NHL game event logs, the relevant data on each shot. 2. Analyze the goal probabilities for each shooting circumstance. In my analysis I separated certain “”from “”shots and studied the probability of a goal given the shot type, the ’distance and the on-ice situation (power play vs other). 3. Build a model of goal probabilities that relies on the measured circumstance. 4. Apply the model to the shot data for the defensive team in question for the season. For each shot, determine its goal probability. 5. Determine Expected Goals: EG = the sum of the goal probabilities for each shot. 6. Neutralize the variation in the number of shots on goal by calculating Normalized Expected Goals (NEG) = EG x League Average Shots / Shots 7.
