What the two axes are

Goaltending (goals saved above expected per 60). Goals the club's likely starters save per 60 minutes beyond what an average goalie would on the same shots, weighted by who is likely to start and pulled toward average for a goalie with little history.

Expected goals for per 60 (5-on-5). Expected goals created per 60 minutes of five-on-five play: how many goals an average finisher would score on these chances.

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 →
