What the two axes are
Win chance vs an average team. Our power rating: the chance of beating a league-average club on neutral ice. It is built from team results and cannot see a trade or an injury until games are played.
Goaltending above chances per game. Expected goals against minus goals allowed, per game this season, empty net left out: what the goalies have saved beyond an average goalie on the same shots. Unlike the rating beside it, this is what happened, not pulled toward average.
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 →
