All ratings

Every rating, against other defensemen.

Ryan SheaAverage defensemanLikely range

This season’s 4 games blended with last season’s 80, and pulled toward the average defenseman by an amount that depends on how quickly each rating settles.

He played for Pittsburgh Penguins last season. Habits that travel with a player (shooting, hitting, penalties) still use that season in full; setting up goals, finishing, faceoffs and power-play chances depend more on linemates and role, so they lean on it less. We measured how much each one carries over for players who change teams.

This season’s 4 games only, pulled toward the average defenseman. 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.
