It's a rate stat you simple take the counting stat (in this case Blocked Shots) and mathamatically apply it to a constant time period.
So for example two players one has 5 blocked shots in 5 minutes of play he'd have a Blocked Shot rate of 60/60 (sixty blocked shots per sixty minutes of play) take another player who has a 5 blocked shots but 15 minutes of play his rate would be 20/60 [(5/15) x 60]=20.
The constant doesn't have to be 60 I just used that as an example. It's just a means of normalizing for different icetimes.
