assists / toi_minutes × 60Points per 60 minutes of ice time. Best single-number rate stat for offensive output.
points / toi_minutes × 60Shots on goal per 60 minutes of ice time.
sog / toi_minutes × 60Successful zone entry denials per 60 minutes. Measures how often a defender prevents clean zone entries.

goals_for - goals_againstWins divided by games played.
wins / games_playedLeague standings points. Win = 2 pts, OT/SO Loss = 1 pt, Regulation Loss = 0 pts.
Games ending in a tie or requiring overtime.
Faceoff wins divided by total faceoffs taken.
fo_wins / (fo_wins + fo_losses) × 100Total faceoffs won.
Total faceoffs lost.
Completed passes divided by pass attempts.
pass_completed / pass_attempts × 100Turnovers that gave possession to the opposing team.
