On-ice xG shot map
How to read this map
One rink, both ends while Elvis Merzlikins is on the ice: what the team generates on the left, what it concedes on the right. Every attempt is a Gaussian bump of height = its model xG, summed per 60 minutes of ice time (a player's exposure is time, not games). The controls switch the surface (xG heatmap ↔ vs league, the league baseline per team-hour at the same strength) and the markers: × goal · • on net · ◦ missed · small • blocked.
The page opens at 5v5; empty-net attempts are excluded throughout. The league-spread histograms and the xGF% percentile rank against the other goalies over the display floor at the selected strength — a non-strength filter (rush, period, …) moves the player's markers but keeps that strength's spread as the backdrop. On-ice membership comes from the shift charts; attempts without usable shift coverage are absent from both ends. Blocked-shot membership cannot be cross-checked against the play-by-play, so treat blocked-marker detail as softer than the rest.

Strength splits
On-ice rates are per 60 minutes at that strength (real time-on-ice), own perspective — a skater's PP row is their team's power play while they are out there.
| Strength | TOI/gm | xGF | xGA | xGF% | xGF/60 | xGA/60 | GF | GA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5v5 | 46.5 | 59.3 | 60.3 | 49.5% | 2.55 | 2.59 | 70 | 65 |
| Power play | 3.5 | 13.2 | 1.1 | 92.3% | 7.58 | 0.63 | 14 | 1 |
| Penalty kill | 4.4 | 1.5 | 20.3 | 7.0% | 0.69 | 9.10 | 1 | 27 |
Modeled saving
The decontaminated saving rating from the joint shooter/goalie fit: Elvis Merzlikins's per-shot logit margin suppressing goals on attempts at their net, multi-season, time-decayed, positive = good — -0.02 (31st percentile, 15,805 shots informing it). Per-shot quality only: it says nothing about how many attempts a player generates or faces.
On-ice numbers pair the regular-season shot set with shift-chart membership;
skaters and goalies under the display floors are fit but not shown.
