from Sam McCaig of The Hockey News,

Here are 10 player stats and 10 team stats that you’ll hopefully find both curious and compelling:

10 PLAYER STATS

Alex Ovechkin, Washington: 20 slapshot goals
The NHL’s king of the one-timers has a league-leading 20 goals on slapshots among his league-leading 49 goals. Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos, who’s no slouch on the slapper himself, is the runner-up with 15 slapshot goals.

Andreas Athanasiou, Detroit: Three penalty shots
The Wings center is the only player in the league with three penalty-shot attempts this season, and he successfully converted two of them. San Jose’s Logan Couture has taken two penalty shots – and he scored on both.

10 TEAM STATS

Florida Panthers: .385 save percentage in shootouts
The Panthers’ goalies haven’t exactly been at their shining best in the shootout, giving up 16 goals on 26 shots this season.

Detroit Red Wings: Three wins in games decided by three-plus goals
The Wings have only won three times this season in games decided by three or more goals. By comparison, the median NHL team has won 15 times in games decided by three-plus goals, with Tampa Bay – who else? – leading the way with 28 victories by at least three goals.
