what is an on ice goal split and how is that ranked? What would luck have to do with the ranking? Is that the same as saying if Gaudreau was a bit luckier he would win the scoring Title?
Last year I was on board with the surging Flames and placed wagers in Vegas on them doing well in the playoffs.
Not this year.

The expected plus minus is a product of expected goals for and against based on shot metrics like attempts, and the region they come in (scoring chances). Players that give up more than they generate have an expected differential which is essentially a five on five expected plus minus.
It's a proxy that has done well to identify what players had seasons where everything went right or everything went wrong, a good add to evaluations.
