Exactly.

Except that the TOI that you see for players includes their PP and SH time. The Even strength TOI should not add up to 60 since there will very rarely be 60 Even strength minutes in a game.
I'd think having the Even strength time also go by % allows the coach to think the same way for all parts of the game.
