The Expected Win statistic (xW) estimates the probability of winning for each team given the chances they create and concede in the game measured by Expected Goals (xG) and given time elapsed. Expected Win is calculated based on hundreds of hockey games and can be interpreted as the average win rate by teams with a similar xG result in the past (e.g. Expected Win of 60% means that teams with similar Expected Goals created and conceded in the same moment in a game won approximately 60% of those games).

Expected goals story

All shots from the game and their xG are visualized in the Expected Goals Story – this chart shows all shots (dots), goals (team logos) and Expected Goals (height of the line) in the game with period splits of xG underneath the chart. Game moments in which one team was dominating can be identified by a steep rise of the xG line. On the other hand, a flat line indicates the moments in a game in which the team was unable to generate scoring chances.

Shot map

 

All shots from the game are visualized on the Shot Map based on their location on the ice. There are two maps, one for each team, displaying all shots attempted by a team. The highlighted grey area in front of the net is called the “slot”. Shots from the slot are statistically the most dangerous. There are goals (black dots), saved shots (grey), shots blocked (red) and shots wide (pink). Using the buttons at the bottom, it is also possible to filter shots by player or by their high, mid and low danger.

Shot heatmap

The heatmap shows locations on the ice where teams took shots. Places on the ice where the colour is red (or close to red) indicate areas where the team was most active and generated most shot attempts.

Faceoffs comparison

Each faceoff circle on the ice is represented by a pie chart indicating what percentage of faceoffs each team.
