I tracked how San Jose targeted Los Angeles defensemen + PK zone entries throughout the series
Exactly two weeks ago, in preparation for what was sure to be a deep playoff run, I decided to track how teams targeted Los Angeles Kings defensemen throughout the postseason...
Thank you, Kings, for saving me some work! If you're not sure what I mean by targeting, read this primer or see how the Caps attacked Rob Scuderi during the regular season. Anyway, here's the collected 5v5 data for the first round; let's focus on the per 20 minutes data and keep in mind that we're looking at a very small sample size:
| 5v5 TOI | Controlled Entries (Carry-Ins, Passes) | Uncontrolled Entries (Dump-ins) | Break-ups (Break-ups, Offsides) | Controlled Entries Allowed/20 | Uncontrolled Entries Allowed/20 | Break-ups/20 |
| Drew Doughty | 115. |
