What the marks mean
The slotThe shaded area at each end — within 33 ft of the net, between the face-off dots.
Either blue lineThe shaded strip at each blue line, reaching out to the neutral-zone dots. No attacker may cross it ahead of the puck — that is offside, NHL Rule 83.We count nothing here. Holding the line leaves no event in the record, so the feed is silent about the thing that makes it matter.
