A short analysis of NHL prospects in the SHL

Several players drafted by NHL teams in recent years are developing in the SHL this season, including Montreal Canadiens selections Artturi Lehkonen (2013) and Lukas Vejdemo (2015). Looking at their scoring rates, we can see who is making the most of their professional ice time.

By using points-per-60 minutes (all situations) and goals-per-60 minutes (all situations), we factor out the actual ice time for the players within the group, as the points-per-game statistic might be very misleading due to usage.

The SHL website leaves some things to be desired, and I had no information with regard to power play and penalty kill time, so I could not subtract this information from the data and was therefore left with all-situations tallies.
