It's pretty simple, really. You take a line's GF/60 and subtract its GA/60 and the result is its GD/60. That's it. I set the minimum time at 250 minutes arbitrarily to avoid the crazy numbers you get from small samples.

There's no bias, only facts. I didn't come up with these numbers, they're actual results from actual NHL games.

I have no idea if this is in, and not trying to sound leaf-biased, so this is more of a question- where does Hyman-Matthews-Marner rank?

No, I'm looking for suggestions, so thank you.

That line posted 4.01 GF/60 and 2.89 GA/60 for a goal differential of +1.12 in 374:04 TOI. Pretty close to getting on this list.

Could you look into Tatar - Danault - Gallagher ?
They have the best SAT stats in the league, it’ll be interesting to see how they stack up in GD/60.
