On-ice xG shot map
How to read this map
One rink, both ends while Neal Pionk is on the ice: what the team generates on the left, what it concedes on the right. Every attempt is a Gaussian bump of height = its model xG, summed per 60 minutes of ice time (a player's exposure is time, not games). The controls switch the surface (xG heatmap ↔ vs league, the league baseline per team-hour at the same strength) and the markers: × goal · • on net · ◦ missed · small • blocked — and own shots narrows the left end's markers to attempts Neal Pionk took.
The page opens at 5v5; empty-net attempts are excluded throughout. The league-spread histograms and the xGF% percentile rank against the other skaters over the display floor at the selected strength — a non-strength filter (rush, period, …) moves the player's markers but keeps that strength's spread as the backdrop. On-ice membership comes from the shift charts; attempts without usable shift coverage are absent from both ends. Blocked-shot membership cannot be cross-checked against the play-by-play, so treat blocked-marker detail as softer than the rest.

Strength splits
On-ice rates are per 60 minutes at that strength (real time-on-ice), own perspective — a skater's PP row is their team's power play while they are out there.
| Strength | TOI/gm | xGF | xGA | xGF% | xGF/60 | xGA/60 | GF | GA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5v5 | 17.6 | 34.6 | 37.7 | 47.8% | 2.32 | 2.53 | 35 | 31 |
| Power play | 1.9 | 10.6 | 0.7 | 93.5% | 6.40 | 0.45 | 7 | 0 |
| Penalty kill | 2.7 | 2.6 | 16.8 | 13.4% | 1.15 | 7.44 | 2 | 22 |
Isolated impact (RAPM)
The regression-isolated version of the on-ice rates — Neal Pionk's own contribution at 5v5 once teammates, competition, zone starts, score state and home ice are controlled away, relative to league average, per 60. Defense is sign-flipped so positive = good on both axes; Net = Off + Def. The attempts/60 (Corsi) axis is on a ~15× coarser scale and is the more reliable of the two. Single-season RAPM is a rough read, not a ranking — the pooled window is the honest default.
| Off | Def | Net | |
|---|---|---|---|
| xG/60 impact | -0.10 | +0.09 | -0.01 |
| attempts/60 impact | +1.1 | -0.5 | +0.7 |
Modeled shooting
The decontaminated finishing rating from the joint shooter/goalie fit: Neal Pionk's per-shot logit margin above what the chance was worth, multi-season, time-decayed, positive = good — +0.01 (59th percentile, 2,452 shots informing it). Per-shot quality only: it says nothing about how many attempts a player generates or faces.
On-ice numbers pair the regular-season shot set with shift-chart membership;
skaters and goalies under the display floors are fit but not shown.
RAPM comes from fit rapm__5f979b40 on flat__joint_structure_xg__08293508
