As requested by Hockey Outsider, here are the players with the largest and smallest roles on special teams (minimum 500 GP) since 1967-68.

Edit: Updated to include 1959-60 through 2019-20

Essentially, PP% is the percentage of the team's power play goals for that the player was on the ice for in his career, and PK% is the percentage of the team's power play goals against that the player was on the ice for in his career. There is also an adjustment for games played to put it approximately on a per-game basis. This should be clear by looking at Mario Lemieux's numbers - he certainly didn't play 94% of his team's games!

I just have a few observations.
  • The top penalty killers appear to have logged a higher percentage of shorthanded ice time in the 1970s, probably because there were fewer power plays to kill off.
  • How about Bobby Orr?
  • Players who missed a lot of time and were good on the power play (like Mario Lemieux) may have a slightly inflated PP%, as presumably their team scored more power play goals with them than without them.
  • I never realized that basically all 500+ game defenders saw at least some time on the penalty kill...with one exception. Jason Woolley's coaches appear to have considered him to be radioactive on the penalty kill. Phil Housley would stand out a lot more if the cutoff was set to 1000 games.
  • If I dropped the cutoff to 400 GP post-1968, Jacques Laperriere would be the top defencemen in SH% with 73%, and Tim Horton would be in the top 5 with 60%. Also, Dan Hamhuis would slide between Bill Hajt and Barry Beck in the top 10 defencemen SH%.
  • Forwards with 400-500 GP - Charlie Burns had a SH% of 79%! That was a different era, for sure. Paul Gardner stands out among full-career 400-500 GP players, as he had a PP% of 71%, more PPG than ESG, was -121, and never killed penalties. That's about as close as it gets to a career PP specialist.

Thanks very much for making this thread, Overpass. Should be a great resource for the ATD as well.

  • These are career averages and in some cases it might make sense to look at players on a year-by-year basis. Brett Hull is an unusual case. Based on my calculations, he went from a miserable 4% of his team’s PK% (1990-93) to a very respectable 36% (1994-1997). I’d expect to see significant variations for Gretzky, Trottier, Yzerman and Stevens.
  • Given that he’s unquestionably the third best scoring forward of the past forty years, Jagr’s PP% is lower than I expected. Maybe his numbers are skewed a bit by his first several years (when he had to share PP ice time with a very deep team led by Lemieux, almost certainly the greatest PP forward in history).
  • Which HHOF forward has the lowest PP%? I’d guess Gainey.
  • I see a few HHOF forwards on the low PK% list: Steve Shutt, Johny Bucyk, Clark Gillies and Yvan Cournoyer. The Roadrunner was initially a powerplay specialist who eventually became good enough to become an excellent even-strength contributor. He never improved enough defensively to become a penalty killer (though perhaps this is unfair to Cournoyer, who played on very deep teams with some of the best PKers in history).
  • That’s another reason Housley shouldn’t (IMO) be in the Hall of Fame (worst PK% of any defenseman over 800 games & 2nd worst on the chart). He excelled in one area that’s easily quantifiable (offense) but how much value did he bring to his team overall?
  • Leetch’s PK% is surprisingly high (around Blake / Chara level), though it may be inflated a bit by playing many years on some very weak Ranger bluelines.
  • Is anybody else enraged when people suggest creating a “Bobby Orr” award for best offensive defenseman?
  • There’s more specialization among elite forwards. Zero forwards appeared on both top fifty lists. I’d guess Messier and Clarke come closest. Nine defensemen appeared on both lists (Orr, Bourque, Potvin, Leetch, Lidstrom, Pronger, Blake, Salming, Lapointe).

Specifics

Would it be possible to have team specific numbers for players that played on multiple teams? Examples - Gretzky and Esposito comparables for the various teams they played for may reveal different philosophies about power play time. Likewise Doug Jarvis - PK may reveal differences in this regard between the various teams.

Same question but applied to coaches - example how Scotty Bowman viewed PP and PK time, with regards to forwards, d-men - a Lidstrom, Robinson, Savard, Lapointe comparison, etc.

[*]That’s another reason Housley shouldn’t (IMO) be in the Hall of Fame (worst PK% of any defenseman over 800 games & 2nd worst on the chart). He excelled in one area that’s easily quantifiable (offense) but how much value did he bring to his team overall?

While I agree with the general opinion of Housley, it goes way overboard sometimes.

He is 7th among defensemen at 84% on the PP, and only 2 forwards top that. That while playing more games than any of the other top 10, besides Bourque. His 84+11= 95 is not that far behind the score of the two 50th place D scores, 58+49= 107. Would likely be in the top 50 combined scores.

He certainly has more value than Rod Gilbert at 65+0.

He has a career +/- of -53, but has a career 1069 PGF. His teams combine for less than 100 more GF than GA over his career, but his TGF-TGA is 2403-1527 +826. That may not rate as HHoF value, but it certainly has to rate as some value.

I had a question about this from someone, and it's a good point.

What's the value in having a high SH%? Isn't it bad to allow goals against?

Yes, the SH% seems a little backwards. Certainly I wouldn't look at a single game and say "Hey, the guy had a SH% of 100%, that's pretty good!" So it's obviously not a stat that demonstrates direct value.

But in the long run, over several years or a career, the players with high SH% are the ones that the coaches keep sending out there, so they must be doing something right. I think looking at the top names on the list is proof of that.

This stat won't pick up on the players that were able to reduce their team's power play goals against by being good penalty killers. As a result, in a full analysis, I'd look at the team success of the penalty kills for players that had a high SH%. Many of the players at the top of the list played for teams that were among the best at killing penalties, which makes their SH% even more impressive. For example, Buffalo was the best penalty killing team in the league over the span of Craig Ramsay's career, so he was obviously doing something right, even with all the goals that went in with him on the ice.

These are career averages and in some cases it might make sense to look at players on a year-by-year basis. Brett Hull is an unusual case. Based on my calculations, he went from a miserable 4% of his team’s PK% (1990-93) to a very respectable 36% (1994-1997). I’d expect to see significant variations for Gretzky, Trottier, Yzerman and Stevens.

I absolutely agree. The career averages presented here are an oversimplification. But they are also very easy for me to calculate for lots of players at once, and in-depth looks at individual players take a little longer. I may do this in the future, as some players roles certainly changed as they changed teams and coaches, or as their games developed.

There’s more specialization among elite forwards. Zero forwards appeared on both top fifty lists. I’d guess Messier and Clarke come closest. Nine defensemen appeared on both lists (Orr, Bourque, Potvin, Leetch, Lidstrom, Pronger, Blake, Salming, Lapointe).

Yes. Here's a junk stat to calculate which forwards played the largest role on both special teams over their career - PP% multiplied by SH%. It doesn't mean anything in itself, simply finds the players with large contributions in both areas over their careers.

You see some great players at the top, as well as some players who played on weak teams.

The top of the defencemen list reads like a list of the top defenders of the last 40 years, for the most part. Chris Chelios in his prime would certainly have been higher on this list. Larry Robinson is surprisingly low, I wonder how much that had to do with inter-team competition for special teams spots.

Could you post Jagr's penalty kill please?

Jagr's SH% is 8%. Other forwards with similar games played and SH% include Pat Verbeek, Bobby Holik, Joe Nieuwendyk, and Keith Tkachuk.

I decided to add two more stats to these tables to provide some information on how effective players were in their roles.

TmPP+: A measure of how effective the power plays of the teams that the player played for were. 1.00 is average, higher is better.

Essentially it is (teamPP%)/(leaguePP%), so a player whose teams were consistently 20% on the PP in a league where the average team was 16% would have a TmPP+ of 1.25 (20/16).

All numbers include shorthanded goals against, as preventing shorthanded goals is part of a good power play. Also, each season for a player has been weighted by the amount he played on the power play that year. So Chris Chelios's TmPP+ puts very little weight on his Detroit years, and much more weight on his Chicago years.

TmPK+: A measure of how effective the penalty kills of the teams that the player played for were. 1.00 is average, lower is better.

Essentially it is (1-teamPK%)/(1-leaguePP%), so a player whose teams were consistently 85% on the PK in a league where the average team was 80% would have a TmPK+ of 0.75 ((1-0.85)/(1-0.8)).

All numbers include shorthanded goals for. Also, each season for a player has been weighted by the amount he played on the penalty kill that year. So Wayne Gretzky's TmPK+ puts more weight on his Edmonton years than on his Ranger years.

$PPP/S: Power play points per season, adjusted for league scoring level. Power play assists from 1968-1987 are unofficial statistics taken from the boxscores at the Hockey Summary Project. All numbers have been adjusted to a power play scoring level of 70 power play goals per team per season. For the purposes of comparison, that's roughly the power play scoring level of the 2006-07 NHL season.

PP% and SH% have already been explained, but they are simply estimates for power play time on ice as a percentage of the team total and shorthanded time on ice as a percentage of the team total, respectively.

Comments

  • As with the previous stats in this thread, the biggest limitation of these lists is the fact that they are career averages.
  • It's important to remember that the team numbers are team numbers, not individual numbers. The team stats get less valuable as you go down the list, IMO. But they really help to separate the top end guys. While they may have had similar usage, it's pretty clear that Phil Esposito > Ilya Kovalchuk, or Al MacInnis > Jeff Brown.
  • I think it's really interesting how almost all the top players in SH% played on good to very good penalty kills.
  • Bobby Orr - greatest special teams player of all time? Granted he doesn't have a decline phase included in these numbers, but even so...
  • It's pretty obvious that the best special teams relative were in the 1970s, because of the lack of parity. One player who played more recently with terrific team numbers is Nicklas Lidstrom. How much credit should he get for Detroit's incredible special teams?

Lake Memphremagog, QC.
Thanks very much for making this thread, Overpass. Should be a great resource for the ATD as well.

  • I see a few HHOF forwards on the low PK% list: Steve Shutt, Johny Bucyk, Clark Gillies and Yvan Cournoyer. The Roadrunner was initially a powerplay specialist who eventually became good enough to become an excellent even-strength contributor. He never improved enough defensively to become a penalty killer (though perhaps this is unfair to Cournoyer, who played on very deep teams with some of the best PKers in history).

Basic explanation. Toe Blake Canadiens rested regular forwards on the PK going with the extra forward and extra d-man most of the time. Big post PK match-up advantages ensued.

Bowman liberalized the approach a bit using the depth players and the checking line forwards - Gainey/Jarvis/Roberts then Houle. Rationalization being that the checking line match-up vs the 1st line of the opposition could be regained post PK.

Updated numbers here. These go back to 1959-60, and through 2014-15. I haven't fully updated the 2015-16 and 2016-17 numbers yet.

Edit: Now updated through 2016-17.

Lake Memphremagog, QC.
Another excellent contribution. ES and PK Jacques Laperriere and Serge Savard standout as do Horton Baun and Brewer as well as Stapleton and White. Lidstrom comes back to the pack.

Overpass, thanks as always for posting these great resources.

Minor correction - in the powerplay chart, I think you duplicated John Bucyk (he has two entries).

Interesting observation - if you look at the ratio between R-ON and R-OFF at ES for defensemen, the top five are Orr, Howe, Bourque, Salming and, believe it or not, Lubomir Visnovsky! (He's 7th if you rank them by the absolute difference between R-ON and R-OFF, rather than the percentage difference). Of course it's not a perfect metric -Guy Lapointe has 2nd worst absolute difference, and one of the 20 worst ratios, because we're comparing him to Robinson-Savard.

The same analysis gives some interesting results for forwards. If we look at the best R-ON to R-OFF ratio for forwards, the top ten has a lot of obvious candidates (Lindros, Forsberg, Bossy, Crosby, Datsyuk, Howe, Clarke). But it's hard to imagine that Chris Kunitz slipped in there.

Surprised to see Beliveau had zero usage on the PK (I knew it was low, but I thought he sometimes played on the secondary units).

Only two forwards appear in the top 100 on the PP and PK usage charts - Red Berenson and Dale McCourt. Yzerman, Clarke and Bergeron are all near misses.

On the other hand, there are 17 defensemen in the top hundred on both usage charts. Sorted by the product of the two usages (PP% times PK%), they are - Orr, Bourque, Potvin, Leetch, Laperriere, Lidstrom, Pronger, Salming, Pilote, Lapointe, Blake, Larson, Chelios, Vadnais, Beck, Hatcher, Desjardins.

Good catch, thanks. I hadn't properly merged the numbers for Johnny (1960-67) and John (1968-on). I've updated the tables with one entry for his post-1960 numbers. It shows him playing on roughly average teams over the course of his career, once you combine the awful pre-expansion Bruins and the dominant post-expansion Bruins.

I would not have guessed Visnovsky was as high as fifth by that metric. I know he had a great year or two in Anaheim by this metric playing with Toni Lydman. On the other hand I assume it is easier to outperform a low R-OFF than a high R-OFF, which gives him a boost.

Kunitz would probably fall out of the top-10 if the numbers were updated through 2017.

Surprised to see Beliveau had zero usage on the PK (I knew it was low, but I thought he sometimes played on the secondary units).

Looking at the data for Toe Blake's teams, especially the data that recently became available going back to 1960, it's very clear that he had defined roles for his players, especially his forwards. He rarely had a forward play on both the power play and the penalty kill unit. His leading penalty killing forwards were usually his spare defenceman and his spare forward. And his top three centres (Beliveau, H. Richard, and Backstrom) didn't kill penalties.

Only two forwards appear in the top 100 on the PP and PK usage charts - Red Berenson and Dale McCourt. Yzerman, Clarke and Bergeron are all near misses.

On the other hand, there are 17 defensemen in the top hundred on both usage charts.

Rod Brind'Amour and Mark Messier were right up there too for PP/PK usage, especially considering their career length. Definitely a fun junk stat to look at.

I've updated the tables with stats through the 2016-17 season. Some stars of the 2010s like Erik Karlsson, PK Subban, Steven Stamkos, and John Tavares are now included.

I made a minor methodological change to weight all stats by games played instead of seasons played. The reason was to put less weight on the shortened lockout seasons.

Also, here are some stats by decade to show how player usage has changed for forwards and defencemen.

Average stats for all defencemen, minimum of 300 GP in the decade (250 GP for the partial decade of the 2010s and 250 GP for the 1960s shorter seasons)

EV%PP%SH%
1960s42%26%46%
1970s39%27%43%
1980s35%32%37%
1990s34%32%36%
2000s33%28%37%
2010s34%28%37%

You can see the smaller rosters of the 1960s meant a higher EV% for forwards and defencemen. This was also the case for the 1970s, to a lesser degree. The modern roster size was in place for the 1980s and on, and as a result the EV% are directly comparable for those decades.

The 1980s and 1990s were the decades where forwards rarely played the point on the power play, so defencemen had their highest average PP% in those decades and forwards had lower PP%. 4 or more forwards on the power play was most common in the 1960s, less so in the 1970s, least common in the 1980s and 1990s, and made a bit of a comeback in the 2000s and 2010s.

SH% was higher for defencemen on average in the 1960s, when teams played only 4-5 regular defencemen. Similar to EV%, it declined in the 1970s and reached a level in the 1980s that it hasn't left. You can also see the effect in the 1960s of Montreal playing 3 defencemen on the penalty kill as the average SH% for forwards was a point lower.

For defencemen, I would say EV% and SH% numbers pre-1980 shouldn't be directly compared to EV% and SH% post-1980. Keep in mind the lower roster size meant teams did not play 6 regular defencemen in the 1960s and 1970s.

Also, the league-adjusted scoring numbers, whether EV or PP, may be affected by other factors that make it easier or harder for top players to stand out. The most obvious factor is the effect of the 1967 expansion and subsequent expansions on diluting the league strength and lowering the average.
