Penguins by the Numbers

Of course, it isn’t all that cut and dried. A player’s role and usage may greatly influence his goals both for and against. For example, you’d expect Sidney Crosby to have favorable stats compared to, say, Matt Nieto, who by the very nature of his job is cast in a more defensive role.

Without further ado, here are the Penguins’ goals-for and goals-against numbers 5v5, courtesy of Natural Stat Trick. The players are ranked by goals for percentage (GF%). I’ve also included expected goals for percentage (xGF%) as well as offensive zone starts percentage (oZS%).
