Team Stats
2010–11 Regular Season
All-time is where 2010–11 ranks among Sabres regular seasons, as a percentile: GF, GA and DIFF since 1970–71 (55 seasons), PP% and PK% since 1977–78 (48), FO% since 1997–98 (28), S% (5v5) and SV% (5v5) since 2009–10 (17). GF, GA and DIFF are relative to each season's league scoring. Higher is better, GA included.
Skater Scatter
Any two stats, one dot per skater. What is xG?
Dot size is ice time per game. Above the dashed line: more Goals than xG.
No skaters match these filters. Lower the games-played floor or widen the position filter.

Win DNA
Yes-or-no box-score traits, and how often the Sabres won with and without each. Correlation, not cause.
How this is measured
Every counting stat runs higher in a win (you score more when you win), so each game gets a yes-or-no question instead, and the win rate when yes is set against the win rate when no. The gap is the lift, in percentage points. A trait can be a symptom of a good night as much as a reason for one. Shot-attempt share (CF%) is left out: in a single game the trailing team piles up attempts, so out-attempting the opponent has gone with a lower win rate.
The wider the gap on an axis, the more that trait separates a win from a loss.
The totals the table above deliberately doesn't lead with. Goals and points from both positions climb in wins, but the defense's share of the offense barely moves, which is why the question is who else scored, not whether the D did.
Line Combinations
Lines and pairs at 5v5 this season, summed over every game together.
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.
- 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 Myers 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. 2010–11 regular season, minimum 20:00 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.

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.
