Shot blocking

Model-based

Not all blocks are equal: stepping in front of a point shot through traffic saves less than blocking a one-timer from the slot. Each block is valued at the xG the shot would have had if it had got through. Percentiles compare defencemen with enough 5-on-5 time.

Where the blocks happened

The net Gonchar was defending is at the top. Each diamond is a block, sized by the xG the shot would have had.

How many, and how dangerous

Every defenceman with enough 5-on-5 time. Right means more blocks; up means the shots blocked were more dangerous. The curves join equal xG blocked per 60.

Model-based

Left: the player's own 5-on-5 attempts per 60, compared with the average at the position. Right: all of the team's attempts with the player on the ice, compared with the league.
