One square per club game, oldest to newest. An ink outline is a game he dressed without a power-play shift; a red slashed box, a game he did not dress; a small dot, a night the club drew no power play; a dashed box, a game before he joined the club or one the data could not read. Hover a square for the game. “Held” marks a skater whose unit slot stands while he is out of the lineup.
