Welcome to the 2023 NHL Playoff Stats Recap Series. In this space, I’ll be posting game charts (powered by NaturalStatTrick.com) with both basic and advanced metrics as well as my own Analytics Three Stars of the Game. All data is via NST, and all on-ice statistics are 5 on 5 unless otherwise noted. Updates will be either nightly or every other night – if you have requests or statistics you’d like to see, don’t be afraid to leave a comment below!
