What the two axes are
Penalty-kill expected goals against per game. Expected goals allowed while shorthanded, per game. Discipline and the kill together.
Points %. Standings points earned over points available. An overtime loss is worth half a win here.
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 →
