Here are a few interesting (to me) statistics as we near the end of the 2021-2022 regular season:
Currently the Pairwise and KRACH are identical through the top eight spots. That's pretty unusual.
Through 34 games, and with two games left, Quinnipiac is allowing less than 1 goal per game (0.96 GAA). No team has scored 4 or more goals against QU in a game this season. Only three teams--UND, Arizona St., and Clarkson--have even scored 3 goals in a game against QU this season.
Quinnipiac's goal differential is +80. That has to be the best in college hockey, right? Nope, Mankato sits at +99. Mankato has a chance to finish the regular season with greater than +100 goal differential. Seriously, how often does that happen? (FYI, UND sits at +17.)
UND is #6 in the Pairwise despite having only one skater ranked in the top 50 in points (Gaber is tied for 14th with 35 points). Denver, on the other hand, has six of the top 50.
Best one for last: SCSU currently averages more shorthanded goals per game (.33) than St. Lawrence and Yale average in power play goals per game (.23 and .27, respectively).
