Small sample. The typical team here has played 4 games, so the bars below only rank the 32 teams that have played against each other, and the percentile numbers are hidden until the typical team reaches 10 games. Read the raw counts.

How to read this map

One rink, both ends: what CAR generates on the left, what it concedes on the right (on a phone, one end at a time, net at the top: the switch above the map picks it). Every attempt is a Gaussian bump of height = its model xG, summed per game. The controls switch the surface (xG heatmap ↔ vs league, the league baseline at the same strength) and the markers: × goal · • on net · ◦ missed · small • blocked.

The page opens at 5v5; empty-net attempts are excluded throughout, and the strength buckets segregate them anyway — which is why the empty-net control greys out unless the view can actually contain one. Everything inside the outlined box moves with the filters; everything below it does not.

Percentiles and the gray spread rank against all 32 teams recomputed under the current filter — every bar and band here moves together, so a slice never ranks against a different slice's league.

preseason to date
How the season was played, not how well. Not a modeled component: each is its own metric (a rate, a TOI share, or opponents' net xG-RAPM), shown with a league percentile only where one exists, never added together. Not a grade.
