What the two axes are

Penalty-kill expected goals against per game. Expected goals allowed while shorthanded, per game. Discipline and the kill together.

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 →
