Good question. I cannot say 100% how they are calculating it in that chart because there are a few different models.

Quote

Expected goals accounts for both shot quantity and quality by accounting for a variety of shot factors, including shot type (wrist, slap, deflection etc.), distance from the net, shot angle, whether a shot was a rebound or generated off the rush, and if it was taken on the power play, even strength or on the penalty kill.

This site did a good job explaining it.

Boy, Skinner gets to some dirty areas often, huh?

Speaking of expected goals, our goalie let in 5 yesterday on an expected 1.8.

What are the metrics for D? Are they the same as for forwards? If so, that’s dumb.

I’m going to say that shot share stats should be equally applicable for both forwards and D.
