Point differential in sports… What is it and why is it important?
In: Mathematics
Take the amount of goals/points scored by your team while you’re on the field/ice and subtract the amount of goals allowed by your team in that same period and that’s point differential. It can be used to show how well the team plays when you’re playing vs when you aren’t but overall it’s outdated and isn’t a great indicator of anything because it’s influenced by a bunch of other factors like how good your teammates are or whether you’re more of an offensive/defensive player.
