From Sep. 1 through Nov. 4, the new system gathered data from 302 out of 744 regular-season games. All the games played under the attentive eye of the new system, which allows recording detailed stats and information about the players in real-time.
This time, we present each club's best defenseman and forward in six categories: distance and time with the puck, total distance run, average and top speed, and passing accuracy.
SKA's Vladimir Tkachyov is leading the way regarding the puck control stats - he leads the League with 54 minutes and 34 seconds spent with the disk. His closest pursuer, Chey Genoway, trails by 4 minutes and 31 seconds. Both players also compete in the "distance with the puck" category, where Tkachoyv's advantage is just at 180 meters - he amassed 18,527 meters so far. However, Genoway leads the League in total distance with a whopping 137,1 km.
