Interesting stat, home scoring vs. away

[SnowblindNYR]

According to outsidethegarden.com. The Rangers are 2nd in the entire league (to Tampa) with a GFA of 3.29 at home. They're also 2nd lowest in total scored on the road (6 in 4 games for a 1.50 GFA). Now I wonder if that's a mistake. We only played 4 games, there's a team that scored fewer than 6 goals on the road? Anyway, I choose to look at this positively. 7 game sample vs. 4 game sample.

Home:
3.26 GF/G
2.43 GA/G

Away:
1.50 GF/G
2.50 GA/G

Looks like a mistake to me.

GFA is Goals for average. I don't think that the average is a mistake (though looks like in the home average the 30 second OT wasn't taken into account, I wonder if it drops the rank), I think the total of 6 goals being only 2nd lowest is the mistake. We have only played 4 games and scored 6 goals.

Oh, so since it looks very similar to what I posted, then that should be correct, since our only OT game was about 30 seconds.

Yours should be correct. The lower number should be correct because we scored 4 goals in 60:30 and not 60:00.

And wow, that article probably had the most boring stats I've ever read.

6 goals in 4 road games is 2nd worst in the league behind columbus who has 5 in 4
