Teams have been doing it earlier and earlier in games down by a goal. One of the stat-ish pod casts had some numbers on it that in my cold-med induced haze I can't remember. Same guys who talked about the slingshot being the top entry for NHL teams on the PP even though everyone hates it.

Two coaches who come to mind we can thank for this are Jon Cooper and Patrick Roy. Cooper likes to be very aggressive about when he pulls the goalie, and I think Patrick Roy once concluded that the best time to pull your goalie was with 10 minutes left.

It makes sense, especially if teams need wins for playoff positions. Losing by 2 or 3 instead of 1 doesn't hurt you in the standings until you get deep into tie-breakers.

Nobody finish wants to finish 1st in the Atlantic. Are they afraid of Ottawa/Montreal?
