Tired legs
When each goal went in, how long every skater on the ice had been out there. Each bar is one player: the taller the bar, the longer he’d been on. In 2025–26 the average NHL shift lasted about 48 seconds, and goals go in more often against players who’ve been out longer.
1–5 · 3rd 4:48 · Edwards. NYI iced the puck and weren’t allowed to change. George had been on the ice for 1:35 when it went in.
