What am I looking at?

Individual refs: stats for one official across all Lightning games they worked, even with different partners.
Team baseline: the Lightning went 476-306 (60.9%) across this sample. Ref 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 Lightning.

Scores, PIM, and crews from NHL API. ATS/O-U from synthetic closing lines derived from final scores (12282/12282 games). Descriptive only, not market odds. Ref game counts rebuilt from DISTINCT game_id in game logs.
