Faceoff Kings

[diamond_ace 3,112]

The Ottawa Lynx are the undisputed faceoff kings of the league.

 

Case in point: Vaclav Hrdina is 7th in the league in faceoff percentage, with a 54.51% success rate. Despite Hrdina's good numbers inside the circle, he's only 4th on his own team, and by a wide margin. The top three players in the league in faceoff percentage are also members of the Lynx. Corey Klopfenstein leads the league with a massive, and probably unsustainable, 67.54%. It's actually pretty ridiculous how well Klopfenstein has been doing. David Kiaskov is second with 61.74%, and he's the only other player besides Klopfenstein over 60%. In third is Longrod Von Danglecoch with 56.29%, which is still a great percentage, but clearly a massive drop after 1 and 2. 3rd is actually closer to 9th than to 2nd. Additionally, there's a minor drop after 3rd, and the gap between 4th and Hrdina in 7th is only 0.45%, meaning that if Hrdina had won maybe 5ish more faceoffs the entire year, the top 4 would all be Ottawa (and it's definitely attainable going forward as well).

I've moved up to 4th. The top of the leaderboard is now OTT/OTT/OTT/OTT.
