Certain statistics are calculated by using standard formulas as noted here: A team’s seasonal point total is arrived at multiplying the win total by 2, then adding the number of ties to this figure, or pts = (2w) + t. Winning percentage is found by dividing the pts figure by 2 times the number of games played, or pct = pts ÷ (2gp). A player’s seasonal point total is found by adding the number of goals and assists together. A goaltender’s goals against average (gaa) is found by multiplying the number of goals against by 60, and then dividing by the number of minutes played, or gaa = (60 ga) ÷ min. Empty net goals (en) are not counted against a goaltender’s goals against average, nor are they counted toward the team’s cumulative goals against average. Save percentage is calculated by dividing total saves (sog minus ga) by total shots on goal. For goaltenders who faced no shots on goal, a save percentage is meaningless and is noted by a hyphen (-). 49 .
