Puck battle wins aren't a stat and hits is unreliable as the definition of a hit varies from arena to arena (and it really isn't all that much a positive stat anyways since a precondition of a hit is that your team doesn't have control of the puck).
Really, In a sense, the chart does show those things since if you're doing them in a way that leads to positive outcomes it will be reflected in on ice results (Ex. if your hits and puck battles separate the opponent from the puck then they can't be taking any shots).
