Trying to get games' data from any game of 2020/2021 season results in empty games array.
i.e nhl-score-api.herokuapp.com/api/scores?startDate=2021-01-19

The docs say that date field is string but it seems to be null for days when there are no games.

The streaks and standings fields are supposed to return the information as it was before the game, but currently they just return the current information, i.e. how it is after the game.

This happens because the NHL Stats API no longer returns date-specific standings information, so https://statsapi.web.nhl.com/api/v1/standings gives the same results as e.g. https://statsapi.web.nhl.com/api/v1/standings?date=2019-10-06. I don't know if they stopped supporting older standings or if it's a bug. Some history is still available, e.g. queries until October 1st (https://statsapi.web.nhl.com/api/v1/standings?date=2019-10-01) return last season's final standings.

As of posting, it is 5:07pm on Sunday March 4. Several games are already live, with several more scheduled for tonight. Despite this, the API still returns Saturday's games stats.

Is this a bug or is there a particular time the API updates?

heya,
just happened to look at this during a live game and see this data:

looking at the STL-DAL game, currently live, end of 1st period. The goals array is [] blank. More importantly, the scores shows 0-0 but in fact, the score is 1-0.

See NHL stats api linescore data pulled at same time:

is this a bug? any idea? Just expecting accurate scores data from otherwise well done little api :)

Hi there

Happy new NHL Season :)

#Enhancement
Do you think you could add teamName ("Bruins") and locationName ("Boston") keys to the teams details section?

I know it will add to the data payload but useful to have those alongside abbreviation and id

If not too much trouble, thanks!

Hi,

The server is currently returning a 500 error

Thanks for your help

Hi there,

Not seeing any current game data in /scores/latest .... Not sure if anything to do with your recent changes. Maybe just a blip today, but heads up. Thanks!

Is it possible to make GET request for particular date, not only for "latest"? I can't find such option in readme.
