There is a very serious difference between regular 5v5 metrics and metrics that are adjusted based on score & venue. The SVA numbers adjust for home ice bias, and both leading & trailing score effects. NaturalStatTrick uses a model created by HockeyViz.com creator Micah Blake McCurdy. I preface with all of this information before I present both sets of numbers, because they do indeed tell two different stories of the Calgary Flames’ loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.
5v5: CF% – 61.96%, SCF% – 62.22%, HDCF% – 52.38%, xGF% – 52.21%
5v5 (SVA): CF% – 56.
