Nhl Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Final Edition – June 2, 2019 NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP FINAL EDITION – JUNE 2, 2019 THREE HARD LAPS: GAME 3 OF THE FINAL * The Bruins scored seven times - including four power-play goals - to take a 2-1 series lead as St. Louis hosted a Stanley Cup Final game for the first time in 49 years. * Torey Krug (1-3—4) established a franchise record for points in a Stanley Cup Final game - achieving a feat last done by an NHL defenseman 25 years ago. * “The Perfection Line” of Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand also found the score sheet as Boston set a franchise record with their seventh road win this postseason. BRUINS FILL THE NET IN GAME 3 VICTORY, TAKE 2-1 SERIES LEAD After going over six minutes without a shot on goal to start the game, the Bruins stormed into the second period with a 3-0 lead and scored seven goals in total - including four via the power- play - en route to a Game 3 win against the Blues. Boston holds a 2-1 lead in the Stanley Cup Final for the fourth time, winning two of the previous three such instances. * Patrice Bergeron opened the scoring with the first of four power-play goals for Boston as they went a perfect 4-for-4 with the man advantage Saturday, improving to 23-for-64 overall this postseason (35.9%). Since the statistic became official in 1977-78, only one team has finished a playoff year with a power-play efficiency of at least 30.0% (min. 45 opportunities): the 1981 Islanders (37.8%; 31-for-82). * The Bruins have scored a power-play goal in each of their last seven games, matching a franchise playoff record. Boston’s 23 power-play goals are one shy of tying the franchise record for most in one playoff year (24 PPG in 1991) and equal the highest total by any team since 2007 (the 2010 Flyers and 2009 Red Wings also had 23 PPG). * Using only 2:06 of power-play time to net their four such goals (on four shots), the Bruins also improved their road efficiency with the man advantage to 50.0% (14-for-28). They have scored at least one power-play goal in seven of nine road games in 2019, posting two of their three other 100% performances away from home (R1: Games 4 and 6 at TOR; CF: Game 2 vs. CAR). * Boston’s power-play success is the inverse of when they won the Cup in 2011, without much help from their power play. In the opening round that year, Boston became the first team in playoff history to win a seven-game series without tallying a power-play goal (0/21 vs. MTL). They entered the Eastern Conference Final converting on just 2 of 37 opportunities (5.4%) and concluded the postseason going 10-for-88 (11.4%). * However, it mirrors recent trends as Boston ranked third in the NHL during the 2018-19 regular-season with a 25.9% power-play percentage (65-for-251) and finished the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 36.4% rating (12-for-33 in 12 GP). * The Bruins, who became the sixth NHL team to score at least four power-play goals in a game during the Final, also set a franchise record for most road wins in a postseason, eclipsing the mark of six set in 1972 (6-1) and matched in 2011 (6-6) and 2013 (6-4). KRUG SETS BRUINS RECORD WITH RARE FOUR-POINT GAME IN FINAL Bruins defenseman Torey Krug tallied a goal and three assists - all via the power-play - to set a franchise record for points by any player in a Stanley Cup Final game. * The 28-year-old became the ninth defenseman in NHL history to record at least four points in a game during the Stanley Cup Final - and first since Brian Leetch 25 years ago. Denis Potvin is the only blueliner with two such performances. * Krug also matched the Bruins record for points by a defenseman in any playoff game, matching the total achieved by Brad Park (2x), Bobby Orr, Carol Vadnais and Zdeno Chara. * Prior to Krug in Game 3, only two other Bruins defensemen had tallied at least three points in a game during the Final - Orr had 2-1—3 in 1972 (Game 4) and 1974 (Game 5), while Park had 1-2—3 in 1977 (Game 1). * Additionally, Krug became the fourth player - and second defenseman - to record four power- play points in a game during the Final, joining Jean Beliveau (2-2—4 in Game 5 of 1965 SCF), Potvin (2-2—4 in Game 3 of 1980 SCF) and Joe Sakic (0-4—4 in Game 2 of 1996 SCF). * Overall, Krug has 2-14—16 in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs (20 GP), tied for the most points among blueliners this postseason. His 16 points are the most by a Bruins defenseman in a single playoff year since 1991 when Ray Bourque had 7-18—25 (19 GP). BERGERON NETS THREE POINTS AS ‘THE PERFECTION LINE’ STAYS HOT ON ROAD After combining for only one empty-net goal and an assist in the opening two games of the Final, “The Perfection Line” of Patrice Bergeron (1-2—3), David Pastrnak (1-0—1) and Brad Marchand (0-1—1) combined for five points Saturday. They now have a combined 25-28—53 in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, including 15-16—31 in nine road games (Marchand: 5-6—11; Bergeron: 5-5—10; and Pastrnak: 5-5—10). * Bergeron became the sixth player to accumulate at least 100 career playoff points with the Bruins, climbing into a tie with Phil Esposito for second place in franchise playoff history. He also scored his League-leading seventh power-play goal of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, two shy of the NHL record for most in a postseason. * With his second-period assist, Marchand (8-12—20 in 20 GP) tied San Jose’s Logan Couture (14-6—20 in 20 GP) for the playoff scoring lead. He also set a career high for points in a single postseason, besting his previous best of 19 set as a rookie in 2011 (11-8—19 in 25 GP). * Pastrnak (8-9—17 in 20 GP) and Charlie Coyle (8-7—15 in 20 GP) each scored their eighth goal of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, tying Marchand for second on the team behind Bergeron (9-7—16 in 20 GP). This marks the third time that the Bruins have had four players each with eight or more goals in a single postseason (also four in 1983 and 2011). SERIES SCENARIOS: THROUGH THREE GAMES * When the Final is tied 1-1, the winner of Game 3 has gone on to capture the Stanley Cup 78.6% of the time since the best-of-seven format was introduced in 1939 (22 of 28 series). * When any best-of-seven Stanley Cup Playoffs series is tied 1-1, the winner of Game 3 owns an all-time series record of 215-105 (67.2%). * The Bruins hold a 2-1 lead in a best-of-seven Stanley Cup Playoffs series for the 32nd time in franchise history. Boston owns an all-time series record of 22-9 in the 31 previous scenarios, including a 2-1 mark in the Stanley Cup Final. 25,000 FANS GATHER FOR ECHOSMITH CONCERT BEFORE GAME 3 Indie pop band Echosmith hit the stage in front of 25,000 strong at the 2019 Stanley Cup Final Party, capping the free concert with their triple platinum breakout smash “Cool Kids.” * After the show, the band chatted with hosts Jackie Redmond and Adam Burish on the Game 3 installment of Stanley Cup Live on the NHL’s Twitter and Facebook. * Inside the arena, Laila Anderson, a young Blues fan who found a bone marrow match in December thanks in part to the organization, pumped up the crowd before puck drop. JAYDEN STRUBLE SHINES AS SCOUTING COMBINE CONCLUDES IN BUFFALO The 2019 NHL Scouting Combine presented by adidas, featuring 103 players eligible for this year’s draft, concluded Saturday with fitness testing in Buffalo.

  • An Introductory Guide to Advanced Hockey Stats
    SHOT METRICS: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO ADVANCED HOCKEY STATS by Mike McLaughlin Patrick McLaughlin July 2013 Copyright c Left Wing Lock, Inc. 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A primary goal of analysis in hockey and fantasy hockey is the ability to use statistics to accurately project the future performance of individual players and teams. Traditional hockey statistics (goals, assists, +/-, etc.) are limited in their ability to achieve this goal, due in large part to their non-repeatability. One alternative approach to hockey analysis would use puck possession as its fundamental metric. That is, if a player or team is dominant, that dominance should be reflected in the amount of time in which they possess the puck. Unfortunately, the NHL does not track nor publish data related to puck possession. In spite of this lack of data, there are methods that can be used to track puck possession. The purpose of this document is to introduce hockey fans (and fantasy hockey managers) to the topic of Shot Metrics. Briefly, Shot Metrics involves the use of NHL shot data to analyze individual players and teams. The shot data is used as a proxy for puck possession. Essentially, teams that are able to shoot the puck more often are doing so because they are more frequently in possession of the puck. It turns out that teams that are able to consistently outshoot their opponents typically end up winning games and performing well in the playoffs [1]. Thus, shot data can play an integral role in the way the game of hockey is analyzed.

  • Expect the Expected: Approximating the Caliber of Possession Using Shot Quality
    Expect the Expected: Approximating the Caliber of Possession Using Shot Quality James McCorriston Connor Reed [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The NHL has experienced rapid growth in analytical metrics and advanced statistics in recent years. While popular statistics like Fenwick and Corsi act as good approximations for puck possession, they are limited in what they tell about scoring opportunities as they do not consider shot quality. In this study, we consider shot distance as an approximation of shot quality, and we combine Fenwick and NHL play-by-play shot distance data to develop a series of new statistics: Expected Goals (xGoals), Expected Differential (xDiff), and Goals-Above-Expected (GAE) for skaters, as well as Expected Save Percentage (xSv%) and Adjusted Save Percentage for goaltenders. As a basis for these new metrics, we first show that shot distance serves as a good approximation for shot quality, and that we can reverse-engineer scoring probabilities for each shot taken by a player. The concept of approximating shot quality is extended to analyze the performance of players, teams, and goaltenders. Using NHL play-by-play data from the 2007-08 season to the 2014-15 season, we show that xGoals are the best indicator of how many goals a player should be scoring, and we show that it stays more consistent for an individual from year-to-year than other comparable statistics. Finally, we show that on a single-game resolution, xGoals are the best indicator for which team should have won a particular game. The novel set of metrics introduced in this paper offer a more reliable and indicative tool for assessing the ability of skaters, goaltenders, and teams and provides a new basis for analyzing the game of professional hockey.

  • Product Recall Notice for 'Shot Quality'
    Product Recall Notice for ‘Shot Quality’ Data quality problems with the measurement of the quality of a hockey team’s shots taken and allowed Copyright Alan Ryder, 2007 Hockey Analytics www.HockeyAnalytics.com Product Recall Notice for Shot Quality 2 Introduction In 2004 I outlined a method for the measurement of “Shot Quality” 1. This paper presents a cautionary note on the calculation of shot quality. Several individuals have enhanced my approach, or expressed the outcome differently, but the fundamental method to determine shot quality remains unchanged: 1. For each shot taken/allowed, collect the data concerning circumstances (e.g. shot distance, shot type, situation, rebound, etc) and outcome (goal, save). 2. Build a model of goal probabilities that relies on the circumstance. Current best practice is that of Ken Krzywicki involving binary logistic regression techniques 2. I now use a slight variation on that theme that ensures that the model reproduces the actual number of goals for each shot type and situation. 3. For each shot apply the model to the shot data to determine its goal probability. 4. Expected Goals: EG = the sum of the goal probabilities for each shot for a given team. 5. Neutralize the variation in shots on goal by calculating Normalized Expected Goals: NEG = EG x Shots< / Shots (Shots< = League Average Shots For/Against). 6. Shot Quality: SQ = NEG / GA< (GA< = League Average Goals For/Against). I have called the result SQA for shots against and SQF for shots for . I normally talk about a team’s shot overall quality but one can determine shot quality any subset of its total shots (e.g.
