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

Rows = VGK players, Columns = TOR 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.
