What the two axes are
Points %. Standings points earned over points available. An overtime loss is worth half a win here.
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 →
