If you’re into hockey statistics and records, it’s a fun time to be a fan. The NHL scoring rate reached a 29-year high last season, punctuated by Connor McDavid delivering the first 150-point effort in 27 years and Erik Karlsson becoming the first 100-point defenseman in 31 years.

Offence Wins Championships
Nothing irks me more than the tired, and incorrect, blanket statement of, “defence wins championships.” It is still repeated far too often. There are many different ways to win in sports, and right now in the NHL a surge in offence has led to offence being more important than it was for many years.
