Ottawa’s Team Stats 13 Games Into the Season
On paper, the Ottawa Senators have gotten out to a pretty good start at 8-5-0, which is good for 2nd in the Atlantic in points percentage. If you had told fans before the season that their record would be 8-5-0 13 games in, I think the majority of people would take that.
However, with such a small sample, there are tons of variables involved that get the Senators to that record. Underlying stats are not absolute truths in a small sample of 13 games, but they could be better indicators than a teams actual record. I wanted to take a look at how the Senators grade in terms of different team stats to see how they’ve really being doing.
5v5 Goals For%: 41.86% (26th)
SH%: 5.71% (27th)
