Draw EquityDraw Equity (DrEq)Faceoff results in goals: each win or loss scored against a coin flip and weighted by the zone. 100 extra offensive- or defensive-zone wins are worth about 1.9 goals.Σ (win − 0.5) × V(zone)Glossary →

Transition attemptsTransition attempt (TRN)An attempt within 10 s of a turnover, recovery, hit-forced recovery or faceoff win in the neutral or defensive zone, in the same play.Glossary →

Penalty ValuePenalty Value (PenV)Minor penalties drawn minus taken, times the net xG of a power play (about 0.20 per two-minute minor).(minors drawn − minors taken) × 0.20Glossary →

On-ice sequence resultsSequence xG (sxG)xG adjusted for flurries: a rebound only counts for the chance that the earlier shots in the same play did not already score.sxG_i = xG_i × Π (1 − xG_j) over earlier same-team shots in the playGlossary →

Shot DietShot diet (ixG/att)Average xG per individual unblocked attempt: how dangerous a player's typical shot is. One of the most stable traits we measure (split-half r 0.68).Shot diet = ixG / iFFGlossary →
