Picking the puck out of the back of the net has become a less-frequent occurrence (photo: Jim Rosvold).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was a stretch recently where on three consecutive Saturdays, a Division I men’s college hockey team scored 10 goals or more.<\/p>\n

Since Jan. 30, there has been a 9-5 result, a 7-5 score, a 6-5 final and three 6-4 games.<\/p>\n

Through it all, the season scoring average kept falling.<\/p>\n

That’s because in that same span, 23 games finished scoreless or with one or two total goals scored.<\/p>\n

No surprise here: Lower-scoring games are far more prevalent, sinking the average number of goals per game this season to a level that might set an all-time low.<\/p>\n

Two seasons ago, there was an average of 5.48 goals scored per game, the lowest level recorded.<\/p>\n

Through the end of February this season, the scoring average is 5.41 goals per game. Through the same number of days of the season in 2013-14, it was 5.64; in 2012-13, when the record low was set, it was 5.49.<\/p>\n
