Zone Squatters

Some teams move into the other team's end and stop paying rent. Others can't get out of their own driveway. Here's the ice, zoned by where every team lives.

Landlords and the evicted

Each strip is a team's average game, split by where the puck and the play were. Green is the enemy end, red is your own. The black ticks mark the league average. The badge is tilt: offensive-zone share minus defensive-zone share.

    The squatters

    Individual skaters, by the share of their own ice time spent in each zone. Edge publishes ten per board and applies its own minimum-games cutoff.

    Moved in

    Most of their ice time in the offensive zone.

      Never home

      Least of their ice time in their own zone. Edge has no board for the most pinned skaters.

        How the ice is zoned

        Zone time

        NHL Edge tracks where the play is for every second of every game, and reports each team's share in the offensive, neutral and defensive zones. The three add to about 100%.

        Tilt

        Offensive share minus defensive share, in percentage points. Positive means you live in their end. The badges are our cutoffs: +3 or more is a landlord, +0.5 to +3 subletting, within half a point renting, -0.5 to -3 behind on rent, and -3 or worse evicted.

        Strength

        The main numbers are all strengths, so power plays count. The even-strength sort uses Edge's 5-on-5 offensive-zone share instead.
