This crucial tool is the foundation of many of our analytical algorithms. It analyzes shift data from each game to calculate the time each line spends on the ice relative to the opposing team's lines. This analysis is specifically focused on games where teams are playing at home, as the home team has the final change, significantly influencing line matchups. The tool indicates how coaches deploy their lines against the top or bottom lines of opposing teams. It considers both average percentages and, if the sample size is sufficient, data from specific team matchups. For smaller sample sizes, average home data is utilized. You can explore this data either game by game or for entire teams, displaying the percentage of time each line played against each other.
