Notes

– Digging around on NHL edge data and comparing some of Auston Matthews’ shooting statistics, he has recorded 51 shots inside the “house” (above the crease, below the hashmarks) this season out of 202 total, so roughly 25 percent. Last season, in his historic 69-goal campaign, over 30 percent of his shots came from that area.
