Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - season begins!

[tailfins]

Wait a minute. I mentioned this yesterday that I’ve noticed when looking at the game logs on the NHL app when a goalie allows an own goal it lists him as allowing one goal than he allowed, but it also says 23 saves on 25 shots, but only credits him with one goal allowed.

When I go to hockey reference he was listed as allowing two goals.

I’m not sure why they’re complicating this. If a goalie gives up a goal on fewer shots on goal, it’s gonna hurt his save percentage. Not help it.

I don’t understand this and never heard anything about this before this season.

So instead of 2 goals on 25 shots it’s 2 goals on 24 shots?

Hockey reference still has him listed at 2 goals on 25 shots for the game log on Saturday.

I think it only doesn’t count as a shot on goal on the NHL app. And even on there it counts as a shot, just not a goal lol.

Per Spaulding, for save percentage calculation, the own goal is not counted as a shot and therefore not counted as a goal. So, saved 24 / 25. For save percentage calculation, it seems the own goal would be treated similar to an empty net goal. It's a Goal Against for the team, but does not count against the goalies stats.

I agree it's complicating things though. If Allen makes that save, does it not count as a save? Given the logic above, it shouldn't. But, that would be insane to track.

If they calculate own goals differently it makes sense. Assuming they count own goals as neither a GA or shot. It's just.. there.

25 shots, 2 GA. 92.00%

24 shots, 1GA 1OG 95.83%

I agree it's over complicating things and probably just easier to count it as it is, but if a player passes back to his own goalie, it wouldn't count as a shot, nor would a bad pass to the point that goes all the way down the ice to the goalie.

Is it worth trying to keep track of? Probably not, but at least they are consistent I guess.

I love the shoutout to us at the end. "Sickos" is a very apt descriptor. Embrace it.

Hey new blood! Feeling great about the season. I can tell the team culture feels a lot different compared to last year, when they were clearly rattled early on mentally. Now it feels like we can beat anyone except Tampa.

Im having fun this year too. Loving what Sheldon Keefe has gotten out of them so far; and with more room to build on that. The future seems really bright

Would love to beat Andrew Brunette and his Predators tonight!

So Dillon had two goals that game

Hockey reference still has it the old way. Allen is a .916% on there.

But NHL.com has him at a .921%, which I guess is the difference between the one own goal he allowed in this game/season and not counting dinged for it.
