That's likely just a typo, but have you seen this thread?

For some reason, any skater whose icetime in a game was over a certain amount had it cut in half on both NHL.com and hockey-reference…

As long as we're listing similar named players, there were two Bob Murdochs who played at the same time, and two Tommy/Tom Williams who did so as well.
