What the two axes are
Goals for per game. Goals scored per game, all situations. A per-game average, not adjusted for opponents.
Penalty kill %. Share of times shorthanded that ended without a goal against. It says nothing about how many penalties a club takes.
A lower-is-better measure is drawn with its axis flipped, so the best clubs are always up and to the right. The dashed lines are the league median; r is how closely the two measures move together across the 32 clubs. Methodology →
