Satellite online, orbit confirmed, but no signs of life beyond regulation. Fascinating...

Long Island is on pace for 93.2 projected points. OT/SO losses account for 5.1 of those projected points. A regulation-versus-extra-time win breakdown is unavailable for this season. But that will certainly change, for time makes fools of us all.

Hooke's law

The standings stretch in proportion to the goal margin...

Before overtime and shootouts get involved, a team's regulation goal margin has historically explained most of how many standings points it collects. The purple line is that benchmark. The gap is how far this team's season landed from it.

Loading the benchmark…

Hockey Vacui

Nature abhors an empty net...

Qualifying goalie pulls occur with seven minutes or less remaining while trailing by one; delayed penalties are excluded. Leave the net open and something will rush in to fill it.

Empty-net data is unavailable for this team and season.

Klein Bottle Hockey

A boundaryless game that doesn't interesect itself...

NHL overtime can be conceptualized by taking a sheet of ice, joining one pair of opposite sides to form a cylinder, and then looping the remaining ends through each other with a half-twist. Enter the Rift ↗

No overtime/shootout sample is available for this selection.

General relativity

Energy and goals are equivalent and transmutable.

Reality Lux (RLx) is who this team has been all season. Aura Units (AU) are who they've been lately, measured over a 10-day exposure. When the green line climbs above the orange one, they're running hot; when it sinks below, the wheels are coming off. Open the full V.I.B.E.S. instrument.
