I am not Bingo, but the disconnect comes from Hamilton not having to defend as many entries per minute. It can happen because of the team is spending that time in the offensive or neutral zone (for example), or starting more of his shifts in the defensive zone. So while Hamilton is not great at denying possession entries, the team’s play with him on the ice prevents as many possession entry attempts.
