Do the Bruins use zone finish data to analyze players?

While most analysis of players focuses on how they help their team when they're on the ice, that's not where a player's story ends. Taking a penalty, for example, can lead to a goal occurring while you're not on the ice. Players like Dominic Moore, Paul Gaustad, and Marcus Kruger absorbing tough minutes helps their team's offensive stars shine with easier deployments. And, finishing your shift in the offensive zone makes whoever gets the next shift's life easier. When it comes to that last one, Bruins players have been surprisingly good.
