Note: In conjunction with the NHL Numbers reference library, we will occasionally be publishing review articles aimed at establishing the contemporary understanding of an area and highlighting opportunities for additional research.
Today is the five-year anniversary of what I believe is the first published list of how often players took offensive or defensive zone faceoffs, and with it in the comments came the question of how zone starts might affect their on-ice shot differential.
There have been a lot of attempts to answer that question over the last five years. In this review article, we will touch on some of them and then make our own recommendation.

Over the last five or six years, statistical analysis of hockey has taken big steps forward. The number of writers and sites contributing to our understanding has grown substantially, which is great. But the downside is that the work is scattered all over the web, and just finding it all can be a major challenge.
At NHL Numbers, we are going to maintain a reference library of articles that have advanced our understanding of the game in some small way.
