Say you have three forwards with the following stat lines at five-on-five:
Which of the three has been the best so far? Who has been the worst? Who is likely to the most productive going forward?
In terms of point production, Player C has a clear edge - his six goals in 191 minutes are more than Player A and Player B have in their 682 combined minutes. Of course, if we look at expected goals, Payer C has the lowest rate of the three. He’s also had the most favorable zone starts (by a decent amount over Player A and by a huge amount overy Player B).
