03/Team stats
Shots on goal include goals, the way the league counts them. Shot attempts are shots on goal plus misses plus attempts that were blocked. A club's blocked shots are the blocks it made, credited to the blocker's club: a shot that deflects off one of the shooter's own teammates is credited to neither side, so this can run under the raw count of blocked shots in the game. Penalty minutes are the durations the feed publishes, plus the ten minute misconduct that automatically rides with a match penalty.
Power plays are opportunities, and they are derived rather than stored. The feed carries no strength on a goal and no end time on a penalty, so the penalty record is run forward to find the seconds a club really had a skater more than its opponent: coincidental penalties offset, a double minor counts twice, a misconduct costs no skater, and a call at the final horn counts for nothing. Power play time is not printed, it would rest on the same reconstruction with nothing published to check it against.

Goals, assists, shots, hits, blocks and faceoffs are counted from the play-by-play for this game. Shots on goal include goals, the way the league counts them, so a club's skater shot total is the shot total the opposing goaltender faced. The skater line does not include a goaltender's own assists. Time on ice, penalty minutes and plus-minus come from the box score. Save percentage is saves over shots faced and excludes any empty-net goal, which the feed does not credit to a goaltender. 3 players are not in the player index and appear by NHL id rather than under an invented name.
