How many hits are in an NHL game?
In hockey, tough hits into the boards, bone jarring open-ice hits, etc., look impressive, but they’re NOT the main focus of the game. This can be seen in the average number of hits per game, which for an NHL team is between 20 and 30. A hockey player may play an entire game without being hit.
