What is xGF% in hockey?
Of all the scoring chances created at 5-on-5 while a player is on the ice (or in a team’s games), the share his team created, with each shot rated by how often shots like it go in. A few good chances can count for more than lots of weak shots. Over a season it’s one of the better signs of which teams and players are outplaying their opponents.
