Lots of nice numbers and facts here that I didn't want to withhold from you. Have fun!
425,000 – Running donation total by AstraZeneca to the Hockey Fights Cancer Fund of the V Foundation; they will contribute $5,000 for every hat trick in 2023-24, up to $500,000 (click here for more information). The 85 hat tricks to date are the most at this stage of a season since 1995-96 (91) and 17 shy of the highest end-of-season total recorded over the past 30 years (102 in 2021-22). The single-season NHL record for hat tricks is 139 in 1981-82.
103 – Number of assists Connor McDavid is on pace to record in 2023-24. Only three players have had 100+ helpers in a season: Wayne Gretzky (11x), Mario Lemieux and Bobby Orr.
43.2 – Percent of penalty shot attempts that have resulted in goals in 2023-24 (16-of-37). The last campaign to feature a penalty-shot conversion rate of at least 40.0% was 1999-00 (40.0%; 16-of-40).
30 – Years since the NHL has had a 60-goal scorer in three straight seasons. Click here for more on 60-goals campaigns.
19 – Number of points needed by Sidney Crosby (32-31—63 in 59 GP) to guarantee his 19th career point-per-game season and tie Wayne Gretzky for the most such campaigns in NHL history. He also needs 14 points to match Ray Bourque for 11th place all-time and 25 to match Phil Esposito for 10th place.
16 – Consecutive goals scored by Sam Reinhart from Jan. 6 to March 4 that were either power-play or shorthanded tallies, the longest streak of special-teams goals in NHL history. Reinhart became the second player in League history with at least 25 power-play goals and five shorthanded goals in a season (Mario Lemieux: 2x).
12 – Number of No. 1 picks from the NHL Draft who have gone on to lead their team in scoring the season after being drafted – a feat last achieved by Auston Matthews in 2016-17. Eighteen-year-old Connor Bedard paces Chicago with 41 points despite missing 14 games due to injury.
10 – Number of players on pace for 100+ points (plus another three tracking toward 97-plus point campaigns). Eleven players hit triple digits in 2022-23, which marked the highest count since 1995-96 (12).
5 – Defensemen on pace to record 80 points in 2023-24 (Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar, Noah Dobson, Roman Josi and Evan Bouchard). The only season in NHL history that had at least five blueliners with 80-plus points in a season was in 1992-93 (6).
4 – Teams that made a coaching change during the 2023-24 season who are currently in a playoff position or within six points of the bracket (EDM, LAK, STL & NYI). Since the Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2018-19 following an in-season coaching change, nine others have played in the postseason after making a head coach change during the regular season: 2021-22 Panthers & Oilers; 2020-21 Canadiens; 2019-20 Maple Leafs, Predators, Flames, Stars, Wild and Golden Knights. The Stanley Cup Final has included a team that made a coaching change three times in the past five years (2019 STL, 2020 DAL & 2021 MTL).
