With Auston Matthews not available for Game 6....

The Oilers had three individual skaters register as many or more power play scoring chances than the entire Kings roster in their first round series

The Oilers flexed their power play muscles in moving past the Kings into the Second Round.

Edmonton (2.45) generated more than 4 times the number of scoring chances per 2 minutes of PP time than the Kings (0.52) did in the series.

The Maple Leafs had 5:46 of OZ puck possession at five-on-five in Tuesday's Game 5 OT win in Boston.

That is over 2 minutes above their per 60 average in the previous four games of this series.

- BOS is only team without a goaltender game among the bottom 30 goaltender performances by GSAx these Playoffs; along with VGK, they're one of only two teams without a…

Without Auston Matthews in the lineup for Game 5, the Maple Leafs used Max Domi at center with Tyler Bertuzzi and Mitch Marner on his wings. In 11:45 of ice time together at five-on-five, not only did that trio produce 79% of the expected goal share on Tuesday night but they had…

#LeafsForever vs. #NHLBruins

The Maple Leafs have outscored the Bruins 6-4 from the inner slot (excluding empty netters) but have been outscored 8-1 from outside the inner slot.

How important is passing into the inner slot?

12 of the top-14 teams in that metric reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year.

The Panthers have completed 55% of their pass attempts to the inner slot against the Lightning in their First Round Series, the highest rate of any playoff team and significantly higher than their regular season average (32.1%).

Connor Garland just assisted on the goal on a pass to the slot from below the goal line.

Garland had the 3rd most passes completed to the slot from below the goal line this season (38), only behind Kucherov (46) and McDavid (39). #hockeyanalytics

Hyman has more high-danger scoring chances than the entire Kings roster so far this series.

And he is 6-for-6 converting on his high-danger shot attempts.

In arguably their biggest game of the season, the Maple Leafs created just one high-danger scoring chance (and Mitch Marner scored on it).
The Bruins had six high-danger scoring chances in Game 4.

In 3 playoff games Winnipeg Jets Connor Hellebuyck:

1. Faced the most shots (116).

2. Has the lowest goals saved above expected (-4.89) of any goalie (min 2 gm), only one below -4.0.

3. Is slightly better (-4.4) than Georgiev (-5.36) in save % vs. expected.
