The rink is drawn from his side: he attacks left to right, his left on top. Right half: where his own shots come from. Left half: where opponents shoot from while he is on the ice (shared with his linemates and the team system). Blue = a bigger share of those shots from that zone than the league average for forwards in the same situation (and shot type, when one is picked); red = a smaller share.
