Advanced Analytics
Deeper analytical views, each on its own page. New metrics will be added here over time.
- Pressure Sequences how it works
- Shots and goals that follow defensive-zone faceoff losses, hits, or rebounds within 8 seconds — a heuristic for sustained offensive pressure.
- Discipline & Special Teams
- Team-level penalty rates, infraction-type breakdown, power play / penalty kill conversion, league-wide most-called infractions, and per-player penalty liability (opponent goals scored while in the box). Infraction-level analytics that public PWHL sites don't currently surface.
- Contested vs. Uncontested Shots
- How often each team's defense blocks opposing shots vs. lets them reach the goalie, and whether those blocks come from defenders or forwards. Per-team and per-skater views, paired with goals against per attempt and save % on shots faced. Filterable by strength, season, faceoff context, and zone.
- Line Combinations
- Forward lines, defence pairs, and full five-skater units for any one team — time on ice, TOI per game, summed production (goals, assists, shots, blocks, hits), on-ice +/- and xG±, plus a forward-line × defence-pair pairing matrix. Pick a team and a game situation to compare its lines against each other.
- Blog
- Long-form analytical pieces — each post ties live tables and charts back to a specific argument. The inaugural post argues a case for Goaltender of the Year 2025-26.
