are those critical draws?
Officially (aka nhl.com), there is no end of game faceoff when trailing or for protecting a lead stats. The best there is for critical faceoffs are PK/PP stats. I'm not seeing a 3v3 faceoff stats.
PK % (# draws):
Danault: 44.8% (67)
Suzuki: 34.8% (23)
Evans: 47.7% (44)
KK : 100% (only 1)
PP % (# draws):
Danault: 33.3% (6)
Suzuki: 46.6% (58)
Evans: 100.0% (only 2)
KK : 50.0% (30)
Event Strength % (Evans took the lowest amount with 160):
Danault: 53.3%
Suzuki: 41.9%
Evans: 50.0%
KK : 44.1%
Faceoff per zone:
Danault: nz: 52.5% oz: 53.9% dz 49%
Suzuki: nz: 39.4% oz: 38.2% dz 50.5%
Evans: nz: 51.4% oz: 42.3% dz 53.7%
KK : nz: 38.2% oz: 47.2% dz 48.5%
Some other notes:
Faceoff wins are attributed based on your team getting puck possession.
Danault's faceoff % have been dropping since the start of the season.
Evans was good at it in the AHL, now it's just player experience, his are climbing.
Suzuki is stable between 30-50%.
KK is unstable, one game he can be 20% and the other one 80+%.
This year Julien was mostly using Suzuki in trailing/defending end of game faceoffs instead of Danault.
In general, a center doesn't get good at faceoff until he's around 23-24 and only the Habs seems to care about them. Who the Jets sent in OT ? Mark Scheifele with his 44.3% this year...
