Ahead of Round 6 starting this evening, we take a look at some of the more interesting numbers jumping out of the statistics so far!

Steelers dominate offense... and penalty box

Five of the 11 players with at least six points in the Series so far play for Sheffield
The Steelers have nine players who are +4, no other team has higher than a +3 on their roster
They have scored more goals (28) than Coventry and Nottingham combined (25)
Sheffield (78PIM) have almost twice as many penalty minutes as any other team (Coventry: 45)

Goalies

Shane Owen's save percentage of 92.31% is almost 5% higher than the next-best goalie, Jackson Whistle (87.84%)
No goalie has a goals-against average under 3.00 - Owen is the closest at 3.01

Defensemen

Jérémy Beaudry (Sheffield) has more points than 45 of the 55 forwards in the series
Brendan Ellis (Nottingham) is the unluckiest shooter so far: 22 shots but no goals

Forwards

Sam Duggan, Simen Edvardsen (both Coventry) and Ollie Betteridge (Nottingham) have scored all of their goals so far on the powerplay
Johno May (Nottingham) leads forwards for the most shots without scoring (20 SOG)
Austin Cangelosi (Nottingham) leads faceoff wins at 64.71%
Tanner Eberle (Sheffield) is the only player to have received a penalty in four different games
