Travel & Difficulty

Travel adds straight-line distances between scheduled regular-season arenas within this week; it excludes the trip into the first game and the return home. Difficulty is a site estimate using current-season opponent points percentage, away games, Montreal back-to-backs and that travel. Each opponent needs five games. It is not the team’s reported itinerary.

Stats Key

Record: wins–losses–overtime losses. PP and PK are weighted by opportunities. 5v5 shot share counts shots on goal; unblocked share adds missed shots and excludes blocks. Both exclude empty nets. These measure shot volume, not shot quality or expected goals.

Save % uses total saves divided by shots faced. GAA is goals allowed per 60 minutes of goalie ice time, including overtime. Empty-net and shootout goals are excluded from goalie stats; shootout deciders are also excluded from goals-per-game rates. Team shutouts include shared shutouts. A dash means no opportunities or incomplete data; coverage shows how many games have the required detail.
