Can't really get it much better than this.
For example, the first game, Feb. 8 Anaheim at Jersey:
Anaheim is playing back-to-back and are on the 7th game of a 9 game roadtrip. They are playing 0.500 hockey, their PP is poor and PK is avg.
Jersey is rested. They are playing .500 hockey, their PP is poor, their PK is avg.
"Nicked" means the team has a few slight injuries. "Banged up" means they have significant injuries.
3-in-4/bb means the third game in four nights and also back-to-back games.
If a team doesn't have back-to-back or 3-in-4 or 4-in-6, that means they are rested.
