Hitting, shot blocking and takeaways are arena-adjusted scores (100 is the average forward); switch “Hits and takeaways” to Raw in the settings to see the numbers as recorded. How the ratings work.
Shots
Where his shots come from, and how his misses miss.
127 unblocked shots, this season and last, from his point of view. 7 more from outside the zone. Empty nets left out.
3 unblocked shots, this season, from his point of view. 1 more from outside the zone. Empty nets left out.
How his misses miss
46 missed shots. “Wide left” is from his point of view.
No missed shots yet.
The NHL’s game data records how a shot missed, but not where in the net a goal or save went (glove side, blocker, five-hole). That needs paid camera tracking, so we don’t show it.
