xGF% is expected goals for, correct? Ok, so, higher the number the better. But what's with the minutes? Usually stats are based on a standard time (like fore example, per 60 minutes or something)....can someone explain this part to me?


Tkachuk – Lindholm – Dube
44% xGF in 159 minutes
Gaudreau – Monahan – Ritchie
35% xGF in 29 minutes
Lucic – Backlund – Mangiapane
64% xGF in 99 minutes
Bennett – Ryan – Leivo
91% xGF in 21 minutes

I think it means that those particular combos have been together for that amount of time. That way you can judge whether it is a long term trend or based on very few data points.
