You're just not using those stats correctly.
They are outcome stats, not how a team is playing stats. A team with a 5-1 win is going to have great "game scores" because they have the goals and assists to fuel them.
To summarize a 5-1 game and say look at all the Jets is sort of obvious.
The actual game flow stats had the Flames with an edge in five on five shot attempts, a slight edge in high dangers chances, and a slight edge in overall expected goal splits.
But within that and using your stats is the ultimate summary ... where one team's skill players can finish, the other can't. One team's big goaltender is playing big, the other isn't.
Individually it certainly works. Guys with three point games have had good nights, Giordano was -3 so he gets hammered in their system.
But it doesn't 100% say how a team or a player is playing ... a player could be -3 through no fault of their own for example (not the case this time in my mind).
Jets 5 Flames 1
