Some early stats regarding shot location

[mjd1001]

The high danger area is right in front of the net according to NHL edge stats.

0 (ZERO) of Alex Tuchs shots this year through 3 games were taken from high danger areas in front of the net. Last year he had 68 taken from right in front of the net, and another 13 taken from the side of the net but very close to it.  

Tage Thompson, This year he also has 0 (ZERO) shots taken from right in front of the net, where last year he had 41 on the season.

Your 2 best scorers are not going to, or at least not getting off shots from the front of the net.

As for the team as a whole, those 'high danger' areas right in front of the net...last year they had 520 shots from that area (or 6.34 per game). This year they only have 7 total among the whole team, or 2.33 per game.

Last year, 22.83% of the teams shots were from in front of the net. This year, its only 11.86%.  

I know its only 3 games, but this team is not going to the net, the entire forward group has seemingly turned into perimter players.

(also a side not, so far through 3 games they have ZERO speed burts of skating recorded over 22mph...last in the league. Last year they weren't great, but they had 61)

What were the numbers for the first 10 games last year compared to this year?

Might be a good thread to kick back up at the end of the month.

Thanks
