Data for impact scoring was collected manually by selecting a handful of players and studying more than 1500 NHL game logs over their current seasons and playoff careers.

The data excludes points scored while leading, and scored when trailing by more than two goals in order to:

• Eliminate potential stat padding in blowout games

• Create a better depiction of the player's competitive drive in close games

• Reject points deemed unlikely to produce a comeback

While establishing the feature layout it was important to adhere to the design patterns used throughout the app to maintain a sense of familiarity and intuitiveness for users.

• League leaders in impact scoring are listed under the "Impact Performers" section of the NHL Leaders tab

• Users can navigate to a dedicated "Impact" tab on each player's profile

• Each player's impact scoring is displayed for their current season as well as their playoff career total

• Coloured circles help distinguish the scoreline at the time points were earned
