Our measures

Built from every shift and every shot: each chance weighted by what it was worth, the team taken out, linemates and opponents shown. Pick a measure for its leaders, how sure we are, and how it was tested.

Shutdown

Defencemen who shut down the other side, deployment removed

Chances suppressed per 60 against his club without him, after the part explained by zone starts, opponent quality and first-line share is taken out (fit across defencemen: each 10 points of offensive-zone start share is worth of raw suppression, each 10 points of first-line share ). The pair he plays on, his partner and how much of his time is against first lines are shown so the role is visible.

How to read them together

Drive says whether the ice tilted the right way with him on it. Company says who he did that with and against. Start +/- says whether the goals that followed began on his shift. Finish and GSAx say whether the shooting or the goaltending beat the chances. Shutdown says how much of a defenceman's suppression is his rather than his deployment, with his pair, partner and matchups beside it. Real points leave the empty-net ones out. Read says what the clip shows for each goal. None of them is a verdict on its own; together they are the case a general manager would want before paying for a player, and every goal links to the league's clip so the case can be checked.

Player pages carry all of these under What happens while he plays; the player rankings can be ordered by Drive and by Start +/-; every team page has a Goals tab with the video.
