What Are NHL Advanced Analytics?
Traditional hockey stats like goals and assists only tell part of the story. Advanced analytics measure the underlying play — shot attempts (Corsi), unblocked shot attempts (Fenwick), shot quality (Expected Goals), and where shots come from (Scoring Chances and High-Danger Chances). These metrics help identify which players and teams are truly driving play, regardless of bounces and save percentages.
Key Stats Explained
- Corsi (CF, CA, CF%)
- All shot attempts — goals, shots on goal, missed shots, and blocked shots. CF% above 50% means a player or team is generating more shot attempts than they allow.
- Expected Goals (xG)
- A model that assigns a goal probability to every shot based on distance, angle, shot type, and game situation. More predictive than raw shot counts because it accounts for shot quality.
- Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx)
- The difference between expected goals against and actual goals against for a goalie. Positive GSAx means the goalie is stopping more than expected — the best single measure of goalie performance.
- High-Danger Chances (HDCF, HDCA)
- Shots from the slot and inner slot area, where goals are most likely. Teams that generate more high-danger chances and suppress opponent high-danger chances tend to win more games.
