NHL Strength & Score Explorer

Every team by strength state and score state: shares, rates per 60 and time spent in each situation.

Reading the explorer

Choose a strength state (5-on-5, power play, penalty kill, 4-on-4 and 3-on-3, the opponent's net empty, or your own net empty) and a score state (leading, tied or trailing, from the team's side, using the score before each shot). The table ranks every team in that situation; click a team, or pick it under Team breakdown, for its full grid of strength by score with minutes per game, expected-goals share and goals share in every cell.

Shares (xGF%, CF%, GF%, SF%, HDCF%) are the team's part of everything that happened in the situation. Rates are per 60 minutes spent in it. Minutes per game shows how often a team ends up there: a team that trails a lot plays more minutes trailing.

Expected goals (xG) are G&W's own: the chance each unblocked shot attempt becomes a goal, added up. A team that creates more xG than it allows is controlling the quality of play, whatever the score said. High-danger chances are G&W's highest tier of scoring chances. Per-60 rates use time on ice from the NHL's shift charts.

Windows. Season and Last 20 are free. Last 10, Last 5, home or away games only, and custom date ranges are part of Analytics, and every higher plan includes them.
