Points = - 683.84226 + 0.02822 * Blocks + 2.0353 * FF% Close5v5
+ 5.08899 * PDO Close 5v5 + 1.41838 * PK% + 0.90363 * PP% 

Weeks of fine-tuning produced the above model. Note that the order of metrics in the model does not matter. As complicated as this model may appear, understanding the five metrics making up the model is key to realizing the beautiful simplicity of the model. These five metrics all account for different aspects of the game of hockey.
