What the two axes are

Power play %. Power-play goals per power-play opportunity. It says nothing about how many power plays a club draws.

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

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 →
