Rest
Does a day off help? Back-to-backs are the second game on consecutive nights.
Points percentage and 5-on-5 expected-goals share by days since the previous game. The count in grey is how many of those games came against a better-rested opponent.
Pulling the goalie
30 times this season the Blue Jackets were trailing late and sent out an extra attacker. Earlier pulls are bolder. The dark tick is the league median for each deficit.
The Blue Jackets in all situations against the close-and-late state: the third period or overtime, tied or within a goal.
