When Inches Wrote the Box Score
A night of posts — including exactly seven iron hits in Winnipeg–Pittsburgh — left goals on the doorstep and swung results.
By MA Insights
The smallest margins decided games: posts and crossbars turned clear chances into heartbreak and low-scoring finishes. In Winnipeg–Pittsburgh, the night featured 7 iron hits, a flurry of near-misses that helped keep the score tight and turn grade-A looks into rebounds and scramble saves. Elsewhere, multiple posts in other matchups similarly robbed shooters of game-changing goals, turning what looked like comfortable attacks into one-goal affairs and forcing goalies and defenders to survive on the bounces.
