NHL Player Ratings
Every player gets one number out of 99, built from real games and updated daily. 501 forwards, 263 defencemen and 75 goalies are rated. An average regular sits near 77.

How to read a rating
A rating compares a player with others at the same position, so a 90 defenceman and a 90 forward are equally far ahead of their peers. Forwards and defencemen are judged in six areas: scoring, shooting, playmaking, play-driving, defence and power play. Goalies are judged on save results over three seasons, shot stopping, high-danger saves and workload.
The current season counts most. Last season steadies it, so one hot week does not make a star. Ratings above 90 are rare, and nobody reaches 99.
