Understanding the Box Score

Goals, Shots and Special Teams

G means goals, A means assists and PTS is their total. SOG is shots on goal. PPG and SHG are power-play and short-handed goals, while GWG marks a game-winning goal. PIM is penalty minutes. A number in brackets beside a scorer is that player's season goal total.

Goaltending and Faceoffs

SA is shots against, GA is goals allowed and SV% is saves divided by shots against. FO W/A shows faceoffs won and attempted; FO% is the win rate. Starter identifies the listed starting lineup; Rookie follows the league's designation. A dash means a figure is unavailable or does not apply.
