What am I looking at?
  • Individual refs: stats for one official across all Red Wings games they worked, even with different partners.
  • Ref crews: stats when the same four officials worked together on the Red Wings games (5+ games shown by default).
  • Team baseline: the Red Wings went 203-218 (48.2%) across this sample. Ref and crew win rates show how they compare to that team average.
  • Whistle differential: PIM differential. A positive number means opponents are penalized more often than the Red Wings.
