Yeah, there isn't really an agreeable method of assigning credit to plays like that.
For example, was it a great save by Bobrovsky? Yes.
Did Las Vegas create the scoring chances to begin with? Yes.
It's a difficult problem to solve without access to the raw data that we were talking about in the thread you created a while ago. And it still would be difficult even if we did have it.
