The final four

The following statistics are from the regular season, with the difference column a comparison between the teams facing each other in Round 3.

I'll put together something on the playoff numbers for tomorrow:

Detroit leads seven of the 10 categories, and finished in the top four in the NHL in everything except save percentage and penalty killing, where they were 13th and eighth.

You can really see the East/West differences, too. Fewer goals against in the West, fewer shots against, fewer penalties and strong penalty killing.
