Small-sample labels explained

Yellow flags are reserved for very small samples: 3 games/appearances/meetings or fewer; 10 unblocked 5v5 attempts or fewer; 5 PP attempts or fewer in either season; 2 attempts or fewer in an individual zone; 10 SOG or fewer in shooting histories. These display flags show sample size; they do not change projections or rankings.

Red elevated-stat flags explained

Red underlined stats and red labels identify elevated values to review: team PP minutes more than 30% above league average within the first 10 games. Individual player shooting rates are not flagged. Tap a red value or label for its baseline and sample. These review thresholds are not a guarantee of regression and do not change projections or ranks. Yellow labels continue to identify very small samples.
