This grid shows how every skater on the home team (VAN) performed against every skater on the away team (SEA) when they were on the ice at the same time.
- Rows = VAN players, Columns = SEA players. Forwards are listed first, then defensemen.
- Green = the VAN player had a favorable matchup (above 50%). Red = unfavorable (below 50%).
- Values shown from the home team's perspective. Toggle between CF% (shot attempt share) and xGF% (expected goal share).
- Cells with fewer than 3 shared events are grayed out (insufficient sample). Hover over any cell for full details.
