Teams
Regular season 2026–27. Expected goals (xG) count every unblocked shot in all situations, empty nets excluded. xGF% above 50 means a team is creating more than it allows.
Who's driving play
Expected goals created and allowed per game, all situations. Up and to the right is good. The defence axis is flipped, so fewer chances against sits higher. Grey lines mark the league average.
Finishing
Goals minus expected goals. Big numbers either way tend to shrink as the season goes on.

Living on the rush
Expected goals per game from shots off the rush, created and allowed. Up and to the right creates rush chances and doesn't give them back.
Why the rush matters
A rush chance is a shot taken within seconds of the puck leaving the neutral or defensive zone, while the defence and goalie are still moving. Some teams score most of theirs this way, and a few give up most of theirs.
Team pages split chances into set plays, rush chances and rebounds, for and against. Compare any two teams side by side.
