  • Columbus Blue Jackets Announce Roster Moves

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 30, 2018 Sheary scores in 3rd to lift Sabres over Blue Jackets 5-4 By Mitch Stacy Associated Press January 29, 2019 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A long midseason break apparently was just what Conor Sheary needed. Coming back from a bye week followed by the All-Star weekend, the Buffalo Sabres forward was ready, ending an 11-game goal drought with the winner Tuesday night. Sheary got an easy tap-in 2:12 into the third period to lift Buffalo over the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4. Artemi Panarin was roundly booed by his home fans when he was introduced in the starting lineup. This was Columbus’ first game since Panarin’s agent said the star forward would not discuss a new contract until after the season. Panarin will be an unrestricted free agent. He wasn’t made available for interviews after the game. Sheary and linemate Evan Rodrigues each had a goal and an assist for the Sabres, who had lost four of five before getting the time off. Sheary has struggled all season and hadn’t scored since before Christmas. “Coming off the break, I had fresh legs and was well-rested,” Sheary said. “I have to give credit to my linemates when credit is due. I think our line in general was buzzing all night and we had good chemistry, and I think all that together just added up to a good night.” Carter Hutton had 33 saves to get his first win since Jan. 8. Buffalo had a solid game except for a stretch at the end of the second period when Columbus scored two quick goals to tie it at 4.

  • Do NHL Goalies Get Hot in the Playoffs? a Multilevel Logistic
    Do NHL goalies get hot in the playoffs? A multilevel logistic regression analysis Likang Ding, Ivor Cribben, Armann Ingolfsson, Monica Tran University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2R6, Canada [email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected] February 22, 2021 Abstract The hot-hand theory posits that an athlete who has performed well in the recent past will perform better in the present. We use multilevel logistic regression to test this theory for National Hockey League playoff goaltenders, controlling for a variety of shot-related and game- related characteristics. Our data consists of 48,431 shots for 93 goaltenders in the 2008-2016 playoffs. Using a wide range of shot-based and time-based windows to quantify recent save performance, we consistently find that good recent save performance has a negative effect on the next-shot save probability, which contradicts the hot-hand theory. arXiv:2102.09689v1 [stat.AP] 19 Feb 2021 Keywords: Hot hand, ice hockey, goaltenders, National Hockey League, time-based window, shot-based window. 1 Introduction The hot-hand phenomenon generally refers to an athlete who has performed well in the recent past performing better in the present. Having a “hot goalie” is seen as crucial to success in the National Hockey League (NHL) playoffs. A goaltender who keeps all pucks out of the net for 1 16 games (4 series of 4 wins) will win his team the Stanley Cup—obviously. In this paper, we use data from the NHL playoffs to investigate whether goaltenders get hot, in the sense that if a goaltender has had a high recent save probability, then that goaltender will have a high save probability for the next shot that he faces.

Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen, pressed with the weight of deadlines past, felt he could ill afford to make another sacrifice to substantially boost his roster. He largely stayed pat. Last year, Columbus was the tornadic center of deadline day. Kekalainen went “all in” on rentals and used picks and prospects to get center Matt Duchene, defenseman Adam McQuaid, left wing Ryan Dzingel and third-string goaltender Keith Kinkaid. Kekalainen took his shot. The Jackets swept the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the playoffs and pushed the Boston Bruins to six games. Then, six unrestricted free agents, including Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky, exited Nationwide Arena. They just visit now. Kekalainen said he could afford to lose the prospects he gave up at the 2019 deadline. Why? Because he had Alexandre Texier, Emil Bemstrom and Liam Foudy, among others, in the pipeline.
