Penguins Playoff Update: By the Numbers
A quick and dirty look at how our Penguins are faring through five games against the Flyers in a number of key 5v5 metrics.
For forwards and defensemen, I included expected goals for percentage (xGF%), goals for percentage (GF%), shots for percentage (SF%) and Corsi (CF%), per Natural Stat Trick. Skaters are ranked by xGF%.
For goalies, I display goals against average (GAA), save percentage (SV%), high-danger save percentage (HDSV%) and goals saved above average (GSAA), for all situations. Goalies are ranked by GSAA.
Needless to say, there are some surprises. Without further ado, here are the numbers:
