What is Fenwick?

The share of unblocked shot attempts a team takes when this player is on the ice.

What this tells us

When this player is on the ice at full strength, what percentage of the unblocked shots are coming from his team's stick? Fenwick is like Corsi, but it ignores blocked shots — so it captures the shots that actually made it toward the net. A higher number means his team is generating more offensive pressure and allowing fewer chances.

Limitations

Fenwick still treats all unblocked shots the same — a low-danger perimeter attempt counts the same as a high-danger slot shot. That's why we also show xG, which weights shots by their actual scoring probability. Fenwick also doesn't account for score effects or the quality of competition your player faces.

Example

A top-line forward typically posts a Fenwick around 52–56%. A third-line depth player might sit around 48–50%. Goaltenders don't have a Fenwick in the traditional sense, but you'll see it for skaters at 5-on-5.
