Ben from Occasionally Wright commented about how Prusek might be benefiting from weaker competition to boost his numbers. I decided to figure out the stats of each goalie's competition. I used basic point totals for each team although it doesn't reflect games played nor point differentials that could be caused by playing Ottawa with different goalies. I could have done a point per game pace with the games against Ottawa excluded but I just don't feel like taking the time to do so right now.


Anyways, here are the stats:

Median points per opponents:
Lalime - 55
Prusek - 59.5

Average points per opponent:
Lalime - 58.22
Prusek - 59.13

It appears to me that Prusek has actually faced tougher competition then Lalime. The stats would probably show an even greater difference if the points earned in games against Ottawa were factored into the comparison because of Prusek's superior winning percentage.
