I was wondering what analytics say about these situations.
Say you're up a goal with 1:30 to go and the other teams pulls it's goalie to make it 6v5. In this situation you can't shoot at will for the empty net because of icing.
Probably a dumb question but is there anything to suggest you (the defending/leading team) might be better off taking a penalty and losing a guy but being able to shoot at the empty net without icing?
