For sure it's not like all HD chances are graded on a scale and then averaged.
But it's not just a shot from home plate, that's not a HD shot attempt it's just a SC shot attempt.
To get to the HD category it has to come off a pass, deflection or rebound, which at least as an assumption makes it more difficult to save for a goaltender.
The Coyotes give up the 7th most of those per game over the last three years.
