Around the matchups
Trash Panda's Mischief Outhit and Outpenalized Noxen
Trash Panda's Mischief won 10-4-2 and did it loudly. They collected 50 penalty minutes to Noxen's 18, out-hit them 90 to 53, and led in goals, 13 to 10, and assists, 32 to 29. The power play was a clear edge too, five goals to two. Goaltending favored Trash Panda as well, with a 2.63 GAA and .912 save percentage against Noxen's 3.48 and .872. Noxen's four category wins included plus/minus, where they finished at plus-3 against Trash Panda's minus-20, plus goalie wins, short-handed goals and blocks. Game-winning goals ended tied at two, and so did shutouts at zero.
Pranksters Win the Power-Play Argument Ten Goals to Three
Pvckin' Pranksters won 11-4-1, and the power play carried the case: ten power-play goals to three and 20 power-play points to nine. They also took goals, 21 to 15, shots, 144 to 102, hits, 72 to 60, blocks and goalie wins, 2 to 1. Dillsburg's four wins came from assists, plus/minus, GAA and save percentage, so the Dermits lost the week while winning the goaltending rate stats. Their plus-14 rating against Pranksters' minus-3 was not enough to turn the outcome. Shutouts ended tied at zero.
Dipsy Doodles Flood the Zone Against Hanover
Dover Dipsy Doodles won 11-2-3 with volume. They had 115 shots to Hanover's 59, 31 assists to 13, and 11 goals to five. They also led in power-play points, 18 to seven, plus hits, blocks and average time on ice. Hanover's two wins came in the goalie rate stats: a 3.47 GAA against 4.32, and a .885 save percentage against .878. That kept the score from being worse, but the Henchmen otherwise lost nearly every skater category on the board. Power-play goals, short-handed goals and shutouts finished tied.
Breadbois Ride the Goaltending to a Clean 11-5
Walnutport Breadbois won 11-5-0 with the week's sharpest goalie line: a 1.40 GAA, a .945 save percentage and a shutout. They also led in goals, 19 to 11, plus/minus at plus-8 against minus-14, hits, 83 to 32, and goalie wins, five to four. Sombrero Gooners took five categories, including assists, 25 to 22, power-play goals, power-play points, blocks and time on ice. Their own goaltending was also solid at 2.41 GAA and .923. The Breadbois were simply better in net and more productive in goals.
Brooklyn Rats Take Nearly Everything That Wasn't Nailed Down
The Brooklyn Rats won 13-2-1, the widest margin of the week. They scored 22 goals to Shickshinny's 10, finished plus-27 against plus-9, and led in assists, penalty minutes, power-play goals, shots, hits, blocks and goalie wins. They also posted a 3.52 GAA against 5.01 for the Stickticklers. Shickshinny's two wins came in power-play points, 12 to nine, and average time on ice. Save percentage was a near-tie on paper, .859 to .857, but it went to Brooklyn. Shutouts ended tied at zero.
Hunlocks Most Wanted Win on Offense Despite Losing in Net
Hunlocks Most Wanted won 10-3-3 by taking the skater categories. They led in goals, 14 to nine, assists, 21 to 17, plus/minus, plus-9 to minus-9, power-play points and game-winning goals, three to one. Lehigh's three wins came in GAA, 2.11 to 3.07, save percentage, .908 to .861, and blocks. That was a strong goalie week that mostly went to waste. Lehigh also processed several adds, including Jaccob Slavin and Jamie Oleksiak, but still finished well behind. Goalie wins ended tied at four, with short-handed goals and shutouts tied too.
Defenestrate Edge a Matchup That Was Mostly Ties
Dover Defenestrate won 8-3-5, and the ties tell the story. Power-play goals, power-play points, short-handed goals, game-winning goals and shutouts all finished even. Defenestrate separated themselves with 14 goals to nine, 16 assists to ten, 99 shots to 67, and 37 blocks to 17, plus a goalie win. Their save percentage stood at .855, while the Backup Dancers' was unavailable. The Backup Dancers' three wins came in plus/minus, minus-2 against minus-14, penalty minutes, 41 to 16, and average time on ice.
