Hockey Stats Calculator

Ice hockey statistics measure both individual performance and team contribution. Unlike sports with purely offensive stats, hockey uniquely tracks defensive presence through the plus/minus rating — one of the most debated metrics in professional sports.

Skater formulas:

Points = Goals + Assists

Shooting Percentage = (Goals / Shots on Goal) × 100

Points per Game (PPG) = Total Points / Games Played

Plus/Minus (+/-) = Even-strength goals scored while on ice − Even-strength goals allowed while on ice

Goalie formulas:

Save Percentage = (Shots Faced − Goals Allowed) / Shots Faced

Goals Against Average (GAA) = (Goals Allowed × 60) / Minutes Played

Variable definitions:

• Goals — pucks put in the net (credited to the shooter)
• Assists — up to two players credited per goal; primary assist goes to the last pass, secondary to the pass before that
• Shots on Goal (SOG) — shots that would have entered the net without the goalie
• Plus/Minus — a +1 when your team scores at even strength while you are on ice; a -1 when they allow one

Worked example (skater): A player scores 28 goals and 45 assists in 82 games with 230 shots on goal.

• Points = 28 + 45 = 73
• PPG = 73 / 82 = 0.89
• Shooting % = (28 / 230) × 100 = 12.2%

Worked example (goalie): A goalie faces 1,840 shots and allows 156 goals in 1,860 minutes played.

• Save % = (1,840 − 156) / 1,840 = 0.915
• GAA = (156 × 60) / 1,860 = 5.03 per 60 min → typically expressed as 2.52 per game (if normalized to standard game time)

NHL performance benchmarks:

Notable awards: The Art Ross Trophy goes to the NHL points leader. The Vezina Trophy honors the league’s best goaltender as voted by general managers. A plus/minus of +20 or better in a single season is considered elite by most analysts.
