Since there were no games this weekend, I calculated midseason Corsi for all Big Ten teams, including home Corsi, away Corsi, and Corsi in Big Ten competition.

For 5-on-5 play, only Wisconsin and Ohio State had Corsi numbers less than 50 percent in the first half. Wisconsin’s was the worst, at 41.11 percent. Penn State had the highest home Corsi with one of 62.33 percent in 5-on-5 play. Michigan’s 5-on-5 away Corsi of 59.66 percent was the highest, while its Big Ten Corsi of 52.16 percent was also the highest.

Minnesota’s worst 5-on-5 Corsi came during Big Ten play, but the Gophers have hovered around 50 percent possession so far this season. Ohio State fared better at puck possession at home than on the road, where they held a 5-on-5 Corsi of 45.92 percent. The Wolverines, who had the best Corsi numbers of all Big Ten teams, had the highest Corsi on the road, with one of 59.66 percent.

Here are the Corsi numbers:
