Stat Leaders after Round 10

There's only two more weeks of NHSL hockey before the playoffs. Below are the list of all the individual stat races. However, the most important race is the one for the playoffs. 

For those unfamiliar here are the tie-breaking procedures in event of a tie between teams. With all three teams separated by just two points this is very important. 

Effectively the most important tiebreaker is regulation wins. Here are the standings with regulation wins in brackets:

1. Adelaide Xtreme: 4-2-0, 8 points (4 regulation wins)
2. Port Adelaide Brewers: 4-3-0, 8 points (2 regulation wins)
3. Noarlunga Stars: 2-3-2, 6 points (2 regulation wins)

The remaining games are as follows:
- Friday 11 February, Stars vs Xtreme
- Friday 18 February, Xtreme vs Brewers

Because no team can pass the Xtreme in regulation wins and it is mathematically impossible for both teams to pass the Xtreme in points, the Xtreme are first team to clinch a birth. 

If the Stars fail to win in regulation this week vs the Xtreme, the Brewers will clinch a spot. If the Stars win in regulation they will move to 8 points and have more regulation wins than the Brewers. In that scenario the Brewers would need to win or at least collect a point in the final game of the season vs the Xtreme.

It should be an exciting finish! Get your tickets at bit.ly/NHSLTickets.
