get_player_game_log

A player's game-by-game stat lines for a season: date, opponent, home/away, and the box score for each game.

When to use it

You want how a player did game by game -- a hot streak, a slump, a home/road split -- rather than a season total. Use get_player_stats or get_skater_season_stats/get_goalie_stats for the season line.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
player_id	integer	yes	NHL player ID
season	string	no	Season (e.g. "20252026"). Defaults to the most recent season with stats for this player.
game_type	string	no	regular, playoff, preseason, or all (default regular)
limit	integer	no	Max games to return (1-200, default 100)
offset	integer	no	Pagination offset
