What the two axes are
Penalty-kill expected goals against per game. Expected goals allowed while shorthanded, per game. Discipline and the kill together.
Shot share. The club's share of all shots on goal in its games, all situations.
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 →
