Comparisons of national hockey league edge data for playoff versus nonplayoff teams. J Strength Cond Res 40(9): 1137–1142, 2026—The purpose of this study was to compare NHL EDGE data between playoff and nonplayoff teams during the 2024–2025 season. These data were used to examine potential differences between playoff (n = 16) vs. nonplayoff (n = 16) teams. Therefore, the independent variable in this study was playoff status. Data for NHL EDGE was taken from sensors embedded within pucks and individual jerseys and is publicly accessible. Variables were classified into the following categories based on the data repository: skating speed, skating distance, shot speed, shot location, and zone time. All data were taken as the team average. Independent samples t-tests were performed for all variables to examine differences between playoff and nonplayoff teams. Playoff teams had greater 22+ mph bursts, 20–22 mph bursts, offensive zone time percent, even strength offensive zone time percent, penalty kill neutral zone time percent, goals, shots on goal, shooting percent, high-danger shots on goal, high-danger goals, and mid-danger goals (p ≤ 0.038). Defensive zone time percent and even strength defensive zone time percent were greater for nonplayoff teams (p ≤ 0.041). These results suggest that high-intensity skating capabilities, tactical zone control, and shot placement seem to enhance overall team performance. This demonstrates unique potential for further developing practice and game strategies that could further enhance team success. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
