Money Puck

Money Puck is a statistical metric used in hockey analytics to evaluate the quality of scoring chances created by a player or team, relative to the goals scored. It assigns a monetary value—often in dollars—to each scoring chance based on historical data indicating how likely such chances are to result in goals. By summing these values, Money Puck provides a financial perspective on offensive performance, helping analysts and teams assess whether a player or team is generating more valuable scoring opportunities than their goal totals suggest. Essentially, it measures the quality of chances beyond just goals scored.
