PP TOI and PK TOI are a skater's time on the ice during his team's power plays and penalty kills. PP Share and PK Share are that time as a part of the team's power-play or penalty-kill time in the games he dressed for.

CF, CA, xGF and xGA are shot attempts and expected goals for and against while the skater was on the ice at 5v5, over the season. On-ice xG counts shots on goal only, where a team's xG and a skater's own ixG also count missed shots.

A goalie is credited a game played for any appearance, relief included, so GP sums above the team's own games played by the number of relief outings. The Total row leaves GP out for that reason.

Dot size is ice time per game. CF% (process) against PDO (luck); the dashed lines mark 2026–27's league-average CF% and a neutral PDO of 100.

Line Combinations

Lines and pairs at 5v5 this season, summed over every game together. 1 of 1 games have shift data.

What do TOI, CF, xG% etc. mean?
GP
Games in which this exact line/pair shared the ice together at 5v5.
TOI
Time on ice together at 5v5, meaning the whole line/pair on the ice at once, not any one player's own total. Only the seconds that exact pair or trio was the unit count, which is why a pair's TOI and xG% here differ slightly from the WOWY table, where together counts every 5v5 second the two share, whoever else is on the ice.
xGF / xGA
Expected goals for/against while this combo was on the ice, from this site's own xG model. On-ice xG counts shots on goal only, where a team's xG and a skater's own ixG also count missed shots.
xG%
Share of on-ice expected goals this combo earned: xGF / (xGF + xGA). The single best read on who controlled play.
GF / GA
Actual goals for/against while this combo was on the ice together.
CF / CA (Corsi For / Against, Shot Attempts)
"Corsi" is just the hockey-analytics name for total shot attempts: shots on goal, missed shots, and blocked shots combined, a volume proxy for who had the puck more. CF is this combo's own attempts, CA is the opponent's.
CF%
Share of on-ice shot attempts (Corsi) this combo earned: CF / (CF + CA).
CF% Rel
This combo's CF% minus the team's own CF% in the minutes this exact combo was NOT on the ice. Positive means the combo lifted the team's play; negative means it dragged it down.
xGF% Rel
This combo's xG% minus the team's own xG% in the minutes this exact combo was NOT on the ice. Positive means the combo lifted the team's expected-goals share; negative means it dragged it down.
FF / FA
Unblocked shot attempts (also called Fenwick): shots on goal plus misses, excluding blocks. One layer closer to real scoring chances than CF/CA.
SF / SA
Shots on goal for/against while this combo was on the ice together.
Minimum Ice Time
Drag the slider on each table down to see combos with less shared ice time. Their percentages get noisier the lower you go, since a combo that barely played together can swing to 100% or 0% off a single shot.

With or Without You

Buffalo's 5v5 CF% and xGF% with Power on the ice, with and without each teammate. Δ is together minus apart. That gap is always measured from the named player's side, so the same pair can read positive on one player's table and negative on the other's. 2026–27 regular season, minimum 3:00 together. Together counts every 5v5 second the two share, whoever else is on the ice, so a pair's time and xGF% here differ slightly from the Line Combinations table, which counts only the seconds that exact pair or trio was the unit. On-ice xG counts shots on goal only, where a team's xG and a skater's own ixG also count missed shots. 1 of 1 games have shift data.

Shift Profile

Shift length and on-ice results, 2026–27 regular season. Empty-net goals against are left out. 1 of 1 games have shift data.

What do Short %, Long Shifts (no whistle), Long-Change Gap etc. mean?
GP (shifts)
Games in which the NHL shift chart has rows for this skater. It can read lower than the games played in the Skaters table, because a game with no usable shift chart is left out of every column here.
Short / Long
"Short" is a skater's shifts under 0:45; "Long" is their shifts of 1:00 or more. Short % / Long % is the share of all their shifts that fall in that range.
CF% (short) / CF% (long)
Shot-attempt share (Corsi) specifically during a skater's own short shifts versus their own long shifts. Compares whether they generate or allow more when the shift is quick versus when it drags on.
GF-GA (long)
Goals for minus goals against specifically during a skater's shifts of 1:00 or more. A single-game or short-series number here is a very small sample; look for it to hold up across a season.
PP Shifts / PK Shifts
Number of shifts a skater started while their team had a power play or was shorthanded, tagged by the strength in effect at the moment they stepped on the ice. A skater who came on in the middle of a shift has time and a share with no shift counted.
PP TOI / PK TOI
A skater's time on the ice during the team's power plays and penalty kills, to the second, summed across the season or series.
PP Share / PK Share
That time as a part of the team's power-play or penalty-kill time in the games the skater dressed for. Five skaters are out for a power play and four for a penalty kill, so a full unit's shares add to 500% and 400%.
Long-Change Gap
This skater's average 2nd-period shift length minus the average of their 1st and 3rd. Positive means their shifts really do run longer in the 2nd, but that period is the "long change" (the bench sits at center ice, so whichever team is defending the far end can't change on the fly as easily), so a positive gap isn't automatically fatigue.
Long Shifts (no whistle)
Even-strength shifts in which the unit was on for 60 seconds or more of unbroken play: no whistle came, so they could not change. A subset of the Long shifts above, which count every shift of 1:00 or more whistles and all. The number in parentheses is how many of these only ended at a whistle. Most of such a shift is ordinary play: the first minute looks like any other stretch of the game, and only the time past it tilts hard toward the defending end (the game page counts that as time on long shifts). Power-play and penalty-kill units legitimately take long shifts, so this column leaves them out. Shift length is an outcome here, not a cause, so it says nothing about why a goal went in.
