A few ideas off the top of my head include the forces of numbers. When a player is put in the penalty box, the number of players on the ice changes, thus giving another team advantage by one.
Angles of trajectory are affected by the angle the player holds his stick when he's aiming at the net. If he's off, then the shot misses.
odd project, but good luck.
