Taking a look at Islanders' impressive January: Part 2


Shot Differential/Fenwick


Average: 55%
Wins: 57%
Losses 45.64%










Slight improvement from December.  Charlottetown is able to get on opponents early.  Even in losses they are posting numbers that would have been the norm in earlier months.

Average: 52%
Wins:  51%
Losses:  52.98%










Although it almost looks like a 50/50 split (which is what it was in December), having a four per cent differential in arguably hockey's closest period is crucial.

Average: 58%
Wins;  54.62%
Losses: 70.18%










Average numbers are down slightly from the last month but are still so impressive that it has not caused much harm.  What is surprising is that the Islanders refuse to go into a "defensive shell" in the third period and still are able to dictate over 50 per cent of the play.  The norm is this is to be under 50 per cent when leading.  That explains why the numbers jump so high in losses.  Teams are either protecting leads or playing younger players in blowouts while the Islanders scratch and claw to get back in to the game before the end of regulation.

Average: 52%
Wins: 54%
Losses 49%










Mirrors December almost exactly down to the last decimal point.  In future blog posts I am going to try to attempt to compare these numbers to other teams in the QMJHL just to get a sense of how we compare and what teams are performing similar.

PDO

Average: 99.72
Wins: 105.3
Losses: 93.0










Continue improvement for Charlottetown.  An average of almost 100 means that this team has not been winning games out of luck which the previous numbers support.

Estimate Fenwick Close
Average: 51.59%
Wins: 53.3%
Losses: 49.15










Looking at December's numbers (HERE) These numbers suggest that the shot differential in wins is a little less while losses being games that are more even aside from shooting percentage an save percentage.
