I disagree. I would argue more faceoffs take place on special teams than continuous 5 on 5, relative to minutes. Think about it, a penalty killing team ices the puck a lot, whereas a power play team has more shots (proportionally) on net than 5 on 5, which results in more goalie held whistles.
So there's a concentration of whistles on special teams relative to 5 on 5.
