📊 Why not look back at Game 3 of the #OHLChampionship Series through the eyes of Stathletes! 👀 📊

When Jeremy Swayman has been elite in this series, the Bruins have won.

He was elite in Game 5 last night.

The Rangers offense seemed to go into hiding in Game 5 against the Hurricanes.

Wyatt Johnston's breakout playoff performance continued in Game 4. In addition to joining Wayne Gretzky as the only NHL skaters ever with a SHG & PPG in the same playoff game before turning 21 years old, he attempted 7 slot shots (5 on net) to bring his playoff total to 43 which

Stuart Skinner has allowed 12 goals in the first 3 games of the 2nd Round Series vs Canucks.

7 of the 12 have been on low-quality shot attempts on net (less than 5% goal probability at time of release).

The Avalanche power play scored twice in their Game 1 road win but has now gone 0-for-3 in consecutive games since.

The Stars penalty kill has been successful at forcing the Avs to the perimeter to limit high-danger scoring chances.

The Stars have done well to limit what is a high-octane offense for an Avalanche team that averaged 5.6 goals per game in the First Round vs Jets.
