Does any have or know a source for number of games each player was a healthy scratch? Specifically, this year plus previous 5 years.
Thanks!
Thanks!
This is not "healthy scratches" list.I’m not sure of your programming experience, but healthy scratches are listed in the roster report for each game.

You can scrape the data from here.
Is there an official difference between the two? I always assumed healthy scratches included players who technically aren’t healthy.This is not "healthy scratches" list.
This is "all scratches" list, including those who are injured but not on IR.
There are sites that track current injures, but I am not sure they keep history.
The best source I can think of is NHLInjuryViz (@NHLInjuryViz) | Twitter
Do you have a source for an injured reserve list? If you try to join an occurrence of the player being a scratch to the IR, if there’s no match, he’s a healthy scratch.Appreciate the input. Looks like I will need to do a little work to get the data I want, but I should be able to make it work.

Crap, that’s my mistake. The post of mine you quoted still leaves the OP with the same problem.I disagree - there are players who are injured but are not sent to the IR. For instance:

Nikita Zadorov is a scratch tonight with a lower-body injury but the Avalanche have no intentions of putting him on injured reserve.
