Game Recap

The Vegas Golden Knights fell to the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Friday. The underlying numbers told a different story — VGK actually held the xG edge (2.60 to 2.26) at 5-on-5, but it didn't matter on the scoreboard. VGK held a slight 10-9 edge in high-danger chances. Keep an eye on Gauthier — 0.51 individual xG on 3 shots at 5-on-5.

Player Matchup Grid

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

  • Rows = VGK players, Columns = ANA players. Forwards are listed first, then defensemen.
  • Green = the VGK 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.
