Mark Scheifele learns bewilderment from the master, Andrew Ladd.
I've decided it would be nice to get a statistical update of our players, if only to see if what we're seeing on the ice is also what is borne out of the numbers. Especially in the early going, some of these rate statistics are subject to swings, as their sample is relatively low (12 games). At least in this first installment (I'll do these month-to-month), I'm including a couple of November games, just because that was the point that I thought of doing it. I have a key and then the statistics after the jump.
Key
55TOI = Time on-ice 5v5 SF/60 = Shots-for per 60 min.
SA/60 = Shots-against per 60 min. OZS% = % of shifts player starts their shift in the O-Zone
QoC = Stands for Quality of Competition, a metric developed by Gabe; I'm actually doing the rankings by position
PDO = Combination of team shooting and save percentage when the player's on the ice; explained here
GS = Games started ESSA = Even-strength shots-against
ESSV = Even-strength saves ESSV% = Even-strength save percentage
ESSV%-Tm = Even-strength save percentage minus rest of team
ESSV%-Lg = Even-strength save percentage minus rest of league
All the data, minus the goaltender save percentages, were pulled from Gabe's excellent data resource, behindthenet.ca. All the metrics after a time on-ice metric are recorded at that strength.
