This grid shows how every skater on the home team (MTL) performed against every skater on the away team (VAN) when they were on the ice at the same time.

  • Rows = MTL players, Columns = VAN players. Forwards are listed first, then defensemen.
  • Green = the MTL 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.
