High-danger goals: 14 - Tyler Bertuzzi (F, CHI)

All 14 of Bertuzzi's goals this season have been high-danger goals; that is one more than Jake Guentzel of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who has 13 high-danger goals and is tied for the League lead with 47 high-danger shots on goal (Josh Doan of the Buffalo Sabres also has 47 high-danger shots on goal). Guentzel has scored the most goals on tips/deflections (seven), just ahead of Bertuzzi (six).

Since Oct. 23, Guentzel has scored 13 goals over his past 20 games (tied for seventh in NHL over span). Guentzel ranked second last season in high-danger goals (27), one behind teammate Brayden Point (28) for the NHL lead in the category.

Hardest shot attempt: 103.03 miles per hour - Morgan Geekie (F, BOS)

Geekie reached his League-leading mark for the Boston Bruins in the third period against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Nov. 11. Geekie (20) is second behind Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche (22) for the NHL lead in goals this season.

Geekie, who also had a 100.86 mph shot on Oct. 27, is one of four NHL players with multiple 100-plus mph attempts this season; the others are New York Islanders defenseman Ryan Pulock, Winnipeg Jets defenseman Colin Miller and Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Louis Crevier). Tampa Bay Lightning defensemen Darren Raddysh has the hardest shot attempt resulting in a goal this season (100.13 mph).

Skating speed: 24.61 miles per hour - Connor McDavid (F, EDM)

McDavid reached his top skating speed of the NHL EDGE tracking era (since 2021-22) for the Edmonton Oilers in the second period against the Calgary Flames on Oct. 8, surpassing his previous high of 24.19 mph from the 2023-24 season.

The only top skating speed faster than McDavid's mark in the regular season or Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2021-22 was Miles Wood (24.82 mph) last season. McDavid leads the NHL in both 22-plus mph speed bursts (46) and 20-plus mph bursts (212) this season.

High-danger save percentage: .908 - Brandon Bussi (G, CAR)

Among goalies to play at least eight games this season, Bussi leads the NHL in high-danger save percentage (59 saves on 65 shots faced). Bussi, who's on a five-game winning streak, is 7-1-0 in eight games and coming off his first career NHL shutout against the Calgary Flames on Sunday (stopped all 15 shots faced).

The Carolina Hurricanes are once again leading the NHL in both offensive zone time percentage (45.7) and 5-on-5 shot attempts percentage (59.2). Bussi has been a part of a three-goalie rotation with Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov (currently out with injury).
