Observed attempts, excluding shootouts. All locations face the attacking net on the right; shot locations are observed, while xG values estimate scoring chance. Older games may use direction inferred from period-wide shot locations.
Full-game expected goals
About expected goals (xG V1)
xG estimates a shot's goal probability. Team xG sums scored unblocked, non-empty-net attempts, including overtime and excluding shootouts. It describes chances already taken, not a pregame goal forecast. Bars compare team totals within this game. Missing coverage is not zero xG. Historical scores generated with this model are retrospective, not independent model-performance results.
