Hello, I’m wondering if anyone has come across a website that provides the SOG/Period. I’ve been trying to find a website that tracks this statistic but have been unsuccessful I can’t even find one that tracks SOG/Period for teams or the NHL as a whole. I’m intrigued to know if teams and players have better SOG therefore more scoring opportunities depending on the period and if there’s any truth to the “they’re a third period team” or “he can only play the first” statements.

Has anyone run into a website that tracks these statistics?

Sid fifth all time.

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about starting a dedicated account on X or Instagram for hockey statistics. Would anyone be interested in following and engaging with content like player stats, game analysis, and more? Let me know if you are interested in helping with a start up.

Why or why not?

Kinda a blockhead question. I am new to analytics.

But should the overall team +/- divided by 5 be roughly equal to the goal differential?

Oddsmakers have this game as a blow out: Sharks +400, Hurricanes -600. Odds vary, but a blow out, as the odds equate to Hurricanes with 86% probability of a win vs Sharks with 20% probability of a win. Hurricanes have two shooters with > 20 SPCT with SOG > 46: Necas and Roslovic. No Sharks shooters can compare. See graphic below:

Hi, Looking for a source for NHL stats, current team scoring by period. So their +/- per period.

Thank you

Does anyone think freddy anderson on the canes will return by new years?

Any homer team biasedness?

We're working on a new Vintage NHL Hockey series, and as a part of it have compiled 108 years worth of hockey data - team and player. We're still exploring the player data, but if you're curious and want to play around with over a century worth of team stats, you can get the dataset here.

[Sourced from Hockey-Reference and then compiled, cleaned and transformed.]

DM me if you have feedback, questions, requests, etc.

Else, enjoy!

I think when faceoff win% falls within 40-60% to either side there isn't much of a case calling it a deciding factor, except maybe if key faceoffs were won/lost at critical points in the game. Tonight though the hawks got obliterated on faceoffs. Bedard 5-11 faceoffs, 1 shot. Dickinson 3-12, 0 shots. Foligno was decent at 6-3 and that correlated to his 4 shots. On the Jets side Scheifele won almost 80% of his, got 6 shots, 2 goals and the win. All Jets won over 50% of their faceoffs. when the distribution of faceoff wins/losses is this lopsided, faceoff importance jumps right out. Maybe it's more important to goals and wins than everyone thinks?

By themselves, don't those two stats say just as much about the team defense performance in the defensive zone as it does about the goalie performance? A shot on goal and a save are tallied the same no matter the shot quality or where the shot is taken. But all shots aren't equal in speed, power or angle and all saves do not have the same difficulty. There are advanced stats that do account for these variables, Corsica is the big one I think to account for shot quality faced then there are a hanful of others that break things down further to remove the impact defenses have on a goalie performance. With these advanced metrics available, why is save% still king when it comes to Vezina consideration? Without factoring these advanced stats, should a Vezina be worth as much evaluating how good a goalie really is or how large a contract he deserves? Is a great performing goalie really great or just appear to be when he's teamed with a great defense?

Anybody for Fantilli?

How many Art Ross titles are equivalent to how many Richards? Might be surprising to see that gap in power play goals given the distribution of other stats.

Hi. I would like to be able to record or hire someone to record the games. Is there somewhere I could do this ?
