Coverage and sample definitions

Regulation five-on-five with three forwards, two defensemen and a goalie per side. 12 attempts in other formations fall outside these samples.

Apart means that player was on the ice without the full selected group. Other selected players may still be present. Each apart sample is separate and may overlap another player's sample.

Corsi counts all attempts; Fenwick excludes blocked attempts. Neither is score-adjusted. Power-play, overtime and other formations are accounted for separately in the player goal breakdowns.

Shot maps

Goals, saved shots and misses while the full group was together. Each shooting team attacks right. Goals are solid circles; other attempts are hollow. Hover, tap or focus a dot for the shooter, distance and xG, or use the shot picker below each rink. Blocks and attempts without usable coordinates are omitted.

How to read these comparisons

Regular season, regulation five-on-five with both goalies present. Invalid or ambiguous shift intervals and events are excluded. Missing games are not replaced by older covered games. xG is available only when all eligible unblocked five-on-five attempts in every contributing game have current scores.

These are descriptive results. Opponents, deployment, other teammates and sample size affect the comparison. A difference does not establish that a combination caused better or worse play. “Apart” includes only this team's selected season and game window, including players who were later traded.

Charts use separate samples with different ice time. Samples under 10 minutes are flagged; rates can still be volatile with more time. No observed time produces unavailable rates. Missing xG is never treated as zero.
