How It Works

Overlap Score

Measures how well a team's offensive shot locations align with an opponent's defensive weaknesses. Calculated by comparing where Team A shoots vs where Team B allows shots across an 800-cell rink grid.

High overlap = Team shoots where opponent bleeds

Matchup Score (1-5)

How favorable the matchup is for the offensive team, scaled 1-5.

5.0 = Elite matchup 4.0-4.9 = Excellent 3.5-3.9 = Good 2.5-3.4 = Average 1.0-2.4 = Poor matchup

Quality Score (1-5)

Similar to Matchup Score but weights "hot zones" more heavily - areas where both teams have high shot activity. Filters noise from low-traffic areas.

Z-Score

The raw statistical measure showing how many standard deviations above/below average a matchup is. Used to calculate the 1-5 scores.

Z > 2.0 = Excellent (top 2.5%) Z 1.0-2.0 = Good (top 16%) Z -1.0 to 1.0 = Neutral Z < -1.0 = Poor matchup

Matchup Finder

Easiest to Score On: Teams whose defense allows shots from areas your selected team prefers to shoot.
