12 games to get 19 points

[scoop 3,447]

After a slow start to his career, Jacob Stone had just 200 points in his first four seasons. Playing a nine-season career, that would mean he would need to average just under 90 points per season to finish with a point-per-game career. Despite only reaching the 90-point mark once thus far, that being his 95 points last season, he finds himself with a chance to get there. As we approach the end of the regular season in this his final year, Stone needs 19 points in the remaining 12 games. His current pace for the season would see him get 17 more points, setting a new career high of 104 points but falling just shy of a point-per-game over his nine seasons.

 

 

 

While his current pace suggests he will come up short, Malmo's remaining schedule may be on his side. Let's take a closer look at the Nighthawks' final 12 games.

 

Team	Games remaining	GA/game vs League	GA/game vs Malmo	Stone P/G against	Expected points
TOR	1	2.87	4	2.67	2.67
LAS	2	3.1	5.5	2	4
PRG	2	3.74	4.5	1.75	3.5
LON	2	4.47	5.5	1.75	3.5
DAV	2	2.43	3.75	1.25	2.5
WAR	1	2.97	4	1.25	1.25
RIG	2	2.53	3	1	2

 

When we break it down by his average points against each individual team and use that as his expected points in the remaining games, the expected total does come up to be just shy of 19.5 points. Obviously when we take a smaller sample size of just the 2-4 games he has played against each of these teams, the average is going to be less reliable. But just looking at these teams, it's clear that Stone will have the opportunity for some big games.

Been a pleasure getting to go head to head this season! Hoping we can both find a way to hit 100!
