What the numbers are

Every rank comes from the NHL's own season and per-game stats, under each player's current team. Points use skaters 2 per goal, 1 per assist, 0.5 per power-play point, 0.2 per shot on goal, 0.1 per hit and 0.2 per blocked shot; goalies 3 per win, 0.15 per save, 2 per shutout and minus 1 per goal against. Categories value adds up z-scores in goals, assists, plus-minus, power-play points, shots, hits and blocks for skaters; wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goalies. Lines and power-play units are derived from ice time over each team's last five games, because the league publishes ice time rather than line charts. Weekly numbers are projections: value per game times the games a team plays, and for a goalie his recent share of starts.
