[FIXED] How can scrape the team names and goals from this site into a table? Ive been trying a few different methods but can't quite figure it out

Issue

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

URL = "https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2021_games.html"
page = requests.get(URL)

soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, "html.parser")
results = soup.find(id="all_games")

table = soup.find('div', attrs = {'id':'div_games'}) 
print(table.prettify())

Solution

Select the table not the div to print the table:

table = soup.find('table', attrs = {'id':'games'}) 
print(table.prettify())

---

Or use pandas.read_html() to get the table and transform into a dataframe:

import pandas as pd

pd.read_html('https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2021_games.html', attrs={'id':'games'})[0].iloc[:,:5]

Output:

Date	Visitor	G	Home	G.1
2021-01-13	St. Louis Blues	4	Colorado Avalanche	1
2021-01-13	Vancouver Canucks	5	Edmonton Oilers	3
2021-01-13	Pittsburgh Penguins	3	Philadelphia Flyers	6
2021-01-13	Chicago Blackhawks	1	Tampa Bay Lightning	5
2021-01-13	Montreal Canadiens	4	Toronto Maple Leafs	5
...	...	...	...	...
