Notes
- There will be inconsistency between my numbers and “official” team man-games lost (MGL) figures due to teams' different reporting standards
- Injury absence data I have used comes from the player profile pages on tsn.ca
- Figures generally exclude minor league players (at my subjective discretion) who are often on teams’ IR lists at the start of each season, but include anyone who gets injured while on the active roster during the season
- Illnesses are included, but healthy scratches, suspensions, and absences due to “personal reasons” are excluded
- Games missed by players still under contract but either officially “retired” or out indefinitely with no prospect of a return (Ben Bishop, Micheal Ferland, Jake Gardiner, Oscar Klefbom, Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little, Brent Seabrook, Mike Smith, Carey Price, Shea Weber) are excluded
