Every metric name opens its definition; the full list lives in Metrics.
Traditional statistics cover all situations. Supporting five-on-five analyses use completed games, raw adjustment and exposure from xG model v4. The two samples can differ.
An em dash means unavailable, not zero. A partial season remains partial. Where a panel reports evidence coverage, its rates use only the covered games. History never substitutes a different model, and a missing appearance interrupts a rolling model window.
Shot maps use the same shot model as Game Center and show which model version scored recent shots beside the rink. Older seasons can use earlier model versions. High danger means a model scoring probability of at least 0.20 on an unblocked attempt; for goalies, medium danger is 0.08 to 0.20 and low is below 0.08.
Special-team buckets include the wider recorded man-advantage and man-down states, read from the player’s own team; for a goalie, penalty kill means facing a power play. Their ranks need 100 recorded minutes and at least 30 qualified peers; below 100 minutes, penalty-kill percentiles are provisional. Playoff values have no ranks or percentiles. Team share is player ice time divided by team ice time in that situation, over the games the player dressed. Zone starts describe faceoff-started five-on-five shifts and exclude on-the-fly starts.
Penalties count events, including one for a double minor; bench and served-by roles are excluded, and victimless infractions have no drawn role. EPV added sums changes in the probability that the possessing team scores next; it is not standings points or an isolated player grade. Rolling windows never cross seasons or season types, and a missed game is not a zero-performance appearance. Career rates use summed counts and exposure, never an average of season rates; a missing contributing season withholds its career metric, and Performance begins in 2023–24.

Traditional statistics use all situations. Analytical values require the same model and five-on-five scope; missing history is not estimated from older caches.
Season ledger
All covered seasons (2015–16 onward). Traditional totals are all situations; analytical columns use matching five-on-five coverage.
This season’s goalie profile has not been published yet. It appears once the season’s numbers have been reviewed.
How to read these comparisons
Each axis ranks the player against qualified peers. The dashed reference is the percentile of their arithmetic mean, which need not be the 50th percentile. Ties share a midrank.
Goalies need 15 covered appearances, 500 verified five-on-five shots on goal and 90% shot and appearance coverage; high danger also needs 50 high-danger shots, mid and low danger need 100 tier shots, and rebound suppression needs 600 eligible saves across 15 appearances with eligible saves. At least 30 goalies must qualify per axis. Playoff ranks are withheld. A reviewed axis whose own evidence fails is withheld and shown with its reason rather than ranked. These workload rules do not express statistical confidence.
Position uses the NHL listed primary position available now; it does not establish historical position or actual deployment. Broad groups are forwards, defence and goalies. This version uses the current model’s covered games only.
