A slot shot might be worth 0.25 xG, a point shot 0.03. A player accumulating 6.0 xG who scores 9 goals is outperforming their volume: their "Finishing" is excellent. With 6.0 xG and 3 goals, either bad luck will pass or finishing needs work.
For a goalie, the equivalent is GSAx (goals saved above expected): how many goals they prevented compared to what the danger of shots faced predicted. It is the fairest way to separate the goalie from the defense.
RinkLog computes xG automatically from the shot zones you log during the game, and shows the player's Finishing (real vs expected goals) plus GSAx for goalies.
RinkLog measures and computes this statistic automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
