BY THE NUMBERS: 2017 YEAR IN REVIEW

A total of 7,307 goals were scored across 1,273 regular-season NHL games during the 2017 calendar year (including 97 shootout-deciding goals). A look at various statistics leaders from the past 12 months:

* Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov (52-54—106 in 81 GP) led the League in both goals and points in 2017, edging Oilers captain Connor McDavid (30-72—102 in 83 GP) – the only other player to reach the 100-point plateau. McDavid’s 72 assists were the most by any player in the calendar year.

* Kucherov (1.31) and McDavid (1.23) were among 11 different players who averaged at least one point per game in 2017. Two others collected at least 1.20 P/GP: Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (1.29; 17-32—49 in 38 GP) and Bruins forward Brad Marchand (1.23; 44-42—86 in 70 GP).

* Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (13-55—68 in 79 GP) was one of four defensemen with at least 60 points in 2017, leading all blueliners in assists and points. San Jose’s Brent Burns (20-46—66 in 81 GP), the reigning Norris Trophy winner, paced all defensemen in goals.

* Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby (49) led the League in wins, 11 more than the next-closest netminders. Sergei Bobrovsky of the Blue Jackets had an NHL-best eight shutouts, while John Gibson (.930 SV%) of the Ducks and Jonathan Quick (2.26 GAA) of the Kings paced all goaltenders in save percentage and goals-against average, respectively (min. 30 GP).

* The 2017 calendar year began with the Blue Jackets in the midst of a win streak that extended to 16 games – one shy of the NHL record – and ended with the expansion Golden Knights extending their win and point streaks to seven and 12 games (11-0-1), respectively – the longest such runs by an NHL team in its inaugural season.

* The two-time reigning Presidents’ Trophy-winning Capitals ended the Blue Jackets’ win streak last January and went on to lead the League in wins (58), points (122) and goals for (289) in regular-season games in 2017:

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
