So to start, these are all league-wide percentiles, not the actual numbers themselves.
Forwards are compared to all other NHL forwards, defensemen to all other NHL defensemen. Minimum 15 games played.
I used the Natural Stat Trick expected goals model, SVA meaning “score and venue adjusted”.
Even Strength Time On Ice is just a measure of who plays more and who plays less.
x(Expected) Offense and Defense percentiles refer to a players play driving at 5v5. Players with high amounts of scoring chances and shots while on the ice are in higher offense percentiles. Players that suppress shots and prevent scoring chances against are in higher defense percentiles. Some players are great at both, some are poor at both.
Penalty differential measures whether a player draws or commits more penalties.
On-Ice Line Finishing refers to the rate above expected in which a player and his linemates are converting their offensive chances into goals.
On-Ice Goaltending is a measure of how the goaltender is performing behind a particular player, relative to expectation.
D-Zone start bias percentile relates to how a player is deployed off the bench after a whistle, starting a new shift. Higher percentage meaning more D-Zone shift starts, lower percentage the opposite.
