Primer: Understanding advanced stats

We like to incorporate advanced analytics in our hockey coverage here.

I'll use this space to dive into some of the basic advanced stats in detail, and then when we use those statistics in our coverage, we can link to this file so you can refer to it if needed.

If you have any further questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.

CORSI

Corsi statistics involve all shot attempts: Shots on goal, blocked shots, and shots that hit the post or miss the net.

The number can be used as an individual statistic, looking at how many shot attempts a player takes themselves in a game.
