NHL Stats API (Legacy)

Legacy statistics endpoint at api.nhle.com (and the older statsapi.web.nhl.com) used by community projects and analytics tools. Hosts deeper historical records, play-by-play, and shift data. Like the web API, this surface is undocumented and consumed via reverse-engineered conventions.
