Scoring in playoff elimination games

[NigerianNightmare]

I’ve tried looking once, but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to pull the data (unless you pay for it, or are much more tech savvy and have the free time). I did make a post last summer comparing Kane/Ovi/Crosby (not sure I remember the exact context of why), but it only looked at games where your own team was facing elimination.

In games where your team is facing elimination (includes game-7):

	GP	G	P	G/GP	P/GP
Kane	20	7	25	0.35	1.25
Ovechkin	27	13	24	0.48	0.89
Crosby	22	4	16	0.18	0.73

Anothrt proof that Crosby is slightly overrated.
He's a terrific player but the stats show us who is who when it matters the most

It's very plausible that five hours from now he's top 10 all-time in points in elimination games...
