We’ve got another PLL stats analysis update, this time with deeper details, especially for goals added. And Jules Heningburg can’t stop adding goals.
These statistics are meant to serve as a guide to better understand what’s happening on PLL fields, not a steadfast rule for how good a player is or isn’t. Everything is fluid, and these stats aren’t the only measures of a player’s success.
Jules Heningburg Keeps Adding Goals: PLL Stats
It’s also important to note that I’m human and do all tracking by re-watching games and recording by hand. Calculation errors are possible.
Goals Added
Goals added is a shooting analytic that uses the average percentage of possession retainment for off-cage shots and assumes all on-cage shots are saves (not a given) to factor in who is adding the most goals for their team.

Points Created by the Dodge
This stat awards a point if a dodge sets up a goal by either drawing a slide of the player scoring himself.
| Player | Points Created |
| Lyle Thompson | 17 |
| Myles Jones | 16 |
| Grant Ament | 14 |
| Connor Kelly | 13 |
| Tom Schreiber | 13 |
| Rob Pannell | 12 |
| Zach Currier | 12 |
| Zed Williams | 12 |
| Paul Rabil | 11 |
| Bryan Costabile | 10 |
| Jules Heningburg | 10 |
| Mikie Schlosser | 10 |
Points Allowed
This is the defensive equivalent of the points created stat (you don’t want to be on this list). Your one-on-one defense created offense either through a goal being allowed or a slide leading to a goal. I had to make some judgment calls in the two-man game.
Remember that the players who get challenged the most are most likely to get on this list, so take it with a grain of salt. Also, guarding Lyle Thompson is a good way to find your name here.
To make this stat easier to understand, I’m sorting by position (SSDMs have it the roughest here).

Updates to these stats from Winston Analytica will come every other week, providing you with up-to-date in-depth statistical analysis to give a deeper understanding of what’s happening every weekend. We shall see if Jules Heningburg can keep it up as the goals added leader, if TD Ierlan continues to dominate the faceoff leaderboard, if Lyle Thompson keeps on creating points, and more.
