Match The Team With The Stat

[Eddie_Shack]

Central Division


Key stat: Last year’s No. 16-ranked power play recently overtook Vancouver as the most efficient this season at 24.4 percent.

Key stat: Have blocked the fewest amount of shots in the Western Conference (489)

Key stat: They had the lowest shots-against per game for a while and currently sit fifth in that category, which flies directly in the face of the fact their .688 winning percentage when being outshot is third-best in the league and tops in the Western Conference.

Key stat: The 26th-ranked power play (14.5 percent) is in direct contrast to an 86 percent penalty kill that is third in the league and best in the West, 1.3 percent higher than second-place Vancouver.

Key stat: Only Central team with a sub-.500 record against the division (3-6-1).

My guesses:

Detroit

St. Louis

Nashville

Columbus

Chicago

Central Division

My guesses:

Detroit

St. Louis

Nashville

Columbus

Chicago

I think there is a 100% chance of one of those being correct.

Toughy, but process of elimination says St. Louis. (I did the others first)

Every team but Detroit has a few big, physical stay at home guys who would rack up blocked shots, so I'm going with the Wings.

Shot in the dark, Chicago.

The best PK is obviously Trotz's doing, so that's Nashville.

Columbus is last in the standings, so I'll say they have the worst record in the division.

Smartass, eh? Better than being a dumbass I guess.
