Does the NHL track "per ice time" stats similar to NBA's "per 36 minutes"?

I dunno if NHL.com does but lots of sites have "per 60" stats.

They have some utility but are less useful than the NBA counterpart you cited IMO because an NBA player is way more likely to play around those minutes.


The NHL versions end up highly memed around the boards when people pop off about such and such 3rd liner is just as effective as star player x/y/z because of some rate stat without context. As long as you keep context in mind they can be useful but IMO don't add some crazy dimension to analysis that you can't get to other ways.

Oh they get a lot of stats from the player’s “chip” in the back of their sweater,
