Minsk, Berlin and Prague make it into record book

One team record was set and two others were tied in the EURO League’s Season 16. Two individual records were also established.

*Oslo RW Alex Debrincat splits Prague’s defense (Mikhail Sergachev and Miro Heiskanen)*. *Unfortunately for Prague, no team ever conceded more goals than the Sparta did this season.*

Prague will be happy to know the 360 goals they gave up in Season 13 is no longer the record for most goals conceded. Unfortunately, the 362 they gave up this year is.

Minsk tied the league’s longest-standing team record by recording a 25.2 efficiency rating with its Powerplay units. Bern first set that standard way back in Season 1.

Berlin needed one more goal to hold the record for the most goals scored in a season. Instead, the tied the record and share it with Belfast (Season 10) and Helsinki (Season 12).

And 36-year-old legend John Tavares, playing for Berlin, bumped Jonathan Toews off the list to produce the winningest season by a center on faceoffs. He surged at the end and wound up winning 62.8 percent of the draws he took. Toews had the previous record (62.7 percent), set in Season 7 when he was with Bratislava.

And as already reported, Hussar Aaron Ekblad set a league record for the most goals by a defenseman. He ended up with 33. Only 20 forwards in the league tallied more than he did.
