Individual scoring chances

Uses the season and game window selected in trends & shots. 0 / 0 selected games fully scored.

Scored xG coverage is not available for this selection yet.

What these values mean

Totals and rates use fully scored games only. Blocked attempts, empty-net attempts and shootouts are excluded. Goals are counted on the same scored attempts, so they may differ from boxscore totals. Missing coverage is not zero.

Individual xG describes this player's own attempts, not their assists or linemates' chances. Goals above xG = goals minus individual xG. These describe chances already taken, rather than predicting future results.

Faceoffs and discipline

Faceoff wins: 54.5% across 11 draws. Penalties taken: 0; drawn: 1; recorded penalty minutes: 0.

Faceoff zones are source event zone codes; no team-relative zone is inferred. Penalties drawn require an identified drawing player. Recorded duration includes all penalty types and may differ from boxscore PIM.

  • O: 3 wins, 0 losses (100.0%)
  • D: 2 wins, 3 losses (40.0%)
  • N: 1 wins, 2 losses (33.3%)
    What these statistics mean

    Close range means within 20 ft of the net. Missing locations are excluded from distance and area percentages. EV / PP / SH is relative to the shooting team and compares recorded skater counts; unknown situations remain separate. These are observed results, not expected goals. Coverage may differ across teams and seasons.
