from Rob Vollman at NHL.com,

In ascending order, here are 15 statistics calculated from Jan. 1 through Dec. 23, 2015, which includes the latter part of the 2014-15 regular season, the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs (in applicable cases), and the 2015-16 season through Dec. 23.

1.93 -- The goals-against average for Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens, the best in the NHL. Price was the leading goaltender in most statistical categories, including his .934 save percentage and 10 shutouts. Devan Dubnyk of the Minnesota Wild shared the lead with 10 shutouts.

4.8 -- The average number of shots Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals took during a game. He recorded at least one shot in all 91 games during the calendar year, which included a run to the second round in the playoffs, and was kept to a single shot on four occasions. Through 91 games, Ovechkin led the League with 58 goals and 439 shots, and missed the net 228 times, including hitting the crossbar or post 15 times.

5 -- The League-leading number of Ottawa Senators with at least 60 regular-season points in the 2015 calendar year: defenseman Erik Karlsson and forwards Mark Stone, Kyle Turris, Mike Hoffman and Bobby Ryan. The Senators also were the only team to employ fewer than 10 defensemen and 20 forwards in 2015.
