Reading the board

Totals

Ranked by season total.

Per Game

Ranked by per-game rate (a total divided by games played).

/ gm

Per game: the stat divided by the games the skater played.

↑ / ↓

How many places a skater moves when the board is ranked by per-game rate instead of totals. ↑ rises, ↓ falls.

Pace

The per-game leader, called out when it is a different skater than the totals leader.

Climber

The top-rate skater who gains the most places from the totals order to the per-game order - a scorer the raw totals underrate.

clear

How far ahead the leader finished, over second place.

min GP

The games-played cutoff to qualify for the per-game board, so a short hot streak cannot top it.
