2012 NHL Playoffs Western Semi Final 2 - Statistical Matchups

The Western Conference Semi Final features the Phoenix Coyotes vs the Nashville Predators. Below I present to you some statistics from their own 2011-2012 playoff series and from their regular season rendez-vous. But first, three key talking points.

1. Superstar goalies Mike Smith and Pekka Rinne  only met each other once this season, and it resulted in a 5-4 shootout win for Nashville

2. The home team lost every regular season game

3. The Preds Powerplay in the first round was striking at 9%, this will be matched with Phoenix's phenomenal penalty kill that killed off 18/19 Powerplays.
