What the two axes are
Team save %. One minus goals against over shots against, for the whole club. Empty-net goals count against it, so it reads a little lower than the goalies' own save percentages.
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 →
