NHL General Managers Report: Record Scoring, Fewer Shootouts, and Tight Competition

The NHL: A League in Transition

The National Hockey League (NHL) is experiencing a dynamic shift, with significant changes in scoring, overtime, and competitive intensity. Let’s dive into the key trends and predictions.

The Good, The Bad, and The Goalie

The NHL is no stranger to scoring. In 2015 it promised to increase offensive. It stands for good. With a generous 6.0 goals per game, this season is on track to average it’s fourth straight season more than that. However, this shift has made life more challenging for the goaltenders.

"It’s hard to be a goalie these days," said Dallas Stars GM Jim Nill. There were a total of 77.8% goals at even strength. 10.5% shooting, both on track for the highest percentage the League demonstrated in years.

The Power Play: More Effective Than Ever

This season, 21.6% of power plays have resulted in goals, on track for the highest percentage. It is a sign that power play strategies are evolving. Famous for power plays, Jamie Benn is the current power play king. He tied the record for most power-play goals scored by Game 3.

The change in rules made it possible, easing the penalty rules and freeing players up from infront of the net.

Over-Time, The Final Showdown!

Currently, 74% of overtime games conclude during the five-minute, sudden-death session. Only 56 shootouts, the lowest in an 82-game season. But the results don’t mean there will be no plans to change the rule.

"The average interest make you want to be on overtime session. Especially when it comes time to discussing extending overtime," NHL senior executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell says.
