Say you have a PP in OT in the NHL (reg.season). Would you sometimes pull your goalie and play 5 on 3?
1. you score the goal and get away with 2 points.
2. you dont score, but very likely get another shot at the extra point in the shootout.
3. you give up a goal with the two man advantage and lose the extra point.
I think more often than not, it will pay of pulling your goalie in that situation. I think the sum of points gained through 1. and 2. combined is a lot greater than points lost in 3.
What is the percentages? Its very rare we see those plays, why?
