Each week this season Ive looked into Big Ten Corsi stats. A few days ago, College Hockey News introduced metrics for each game which accounts for all shots taken by each player on each team.
The stats are lifted off shot charts, so it displays attempts that were blocked, wide, hit the post, saved or were goals. This allows us to calculate the Corsi For total for each players. Unfortunately we have no way of knowing (yet) how many shots were taken against these players while they were on the ice. But looking at the Corsi For totals for each player can give us a better idea whos shooting the most, where their shots are going, and how many of their attempted shots are goals.
Penn State is a team known for puck possession. They average 40.29 shots on goal per game, most in the country. And they average 73.38 attempts per game. Of all their attempts, Penn State has recorded 71 goals converting on 4.61 percent of their total shots attempted.
