All ratings
Every rating, against other forwards.
This season’s 5 games blended with last season’s 79, and pulled toward the average forward by an amount that depends on how quickly each rating settles.
Shooting volume, creating his own chances, shot blocking, hardest shot and distance skated compare wingers with wingers, because centers and wingers really differ there. Everything else compares all forwards.
This season’s 5 games only, pulled toward the average forward. Expect wide ranges this early.

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.
