Shot quality
Expected goals (xG) rate every unblocked shot by how often shots like it go in, from where it was taken, the shot type, the strength and what happened just before it. How it works
| CBJ | PIT | |
|---|---|---|
| 4.36 | Expected goals | 2.49 |
| 4 | Goals (no shootout) | 4 |
| 3.40 | Expected goals, 5 on 5 | 1.20 |
| 76 | Shot attempts | 63 |
| 59 | Unblocked attempts | 45 |
| 41 | Shots on goal | 31 |
Game notes
What stood out as the game went on, from the play-by-play and the shifts. Time on the bench is counted in 5-on-5 play outside the penalty box; the note says the player sat, not why. Goals saved are against the shots' expected goals (xG).
| 2nd Period | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:30 | CBJ | xG swing | xG swing · Out-chanced PIT 1.21–0.12

With 3:09 left; PIT scored at 16:54 of the 3rd (4–4) |

No shift after 4:54 of the 3rd; 16 shifts (14:58) before that |
Shot map
About these numbers
xG comes from hockeystats.io's own model, a gradient-boosted tree model trained on every unblocked shot from the 2021-22 to 2025-26 regular seasons using the NHL's public play-by-play. Each shot's value is the share of similar shots that became goals. A team's xG is the sum over its shots; "deserve to win" asks how often the team would outscore its opponent if every shot went in at exactly that rate. Blocked shots count as attempts but have no xG (the NHL records where they were blocked, not where they were taken), so the map leaves them out.
