What the two axes are

Penalty kill %. Share of times shorthanded that ended without a goal against. It says nothing about how many penalties a club takes.

Expected goals share (5-on-5). The club's share of expected goals at five-on-five, from our shot model. Blocked shots are not counted.

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 →
