Data summary shows less than that ...
5035 minutes played by Calgary defenseman 5 on 5
5035 / 53 games / 2 dmen on the ice equals 47.5 minutes (that adds up)
Opposition splits ...
Elite 26%
Middle 40%
Lesser 34%
Flames Dmen % against elite
Bahl 36%
Andersson 34%
Miromanov 29%
Weegar 27%
Hanley 19%
Barrie 19%
Bean 17%
Pachal 16%
Pachal and whoever he plays with has been sheltered this year.
Hanley, Barrie and Bean have all seen time in the top four.
