Shot blocking
Model-basedNot 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.

The net Sopel was defending is at the top. Each diamond is a block, sized by the xG the shot would have had.
130 blocks · 5.0 xG stopped
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.
Where the shots come from
Model-basedLeft: 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.
Blue shows more attempts than average from that area. Both maps count attempts for, so blue is good on both.
