摘要

In ice hockey, traffic in front of the net during a shot attempt (skaters in or near the area between the puck and the posts) may impact the shot outcome. In some cases, traffic may impede the goaltender’s ability to see the puck, possibly increasing the probability of a goal. In other cases, traffic may prevent the puck from even reaching the goal. In this paper, we use puck and player tracking data from the National Hockey League to determine the number of skaters creating traffic and examine the relationship between traffic and shot outcomes.
