NHL Team Stats

Every team on 5-on-5 play, special teams, finishing and goaltending versus expected, pace and schedule, with ranks, league averages and percentiles.

Reading the table

Pick a season and a window. Rank (#) is 5-on-5 expected-goals share (xGF%). Green is better than the league and brick-red is worse; for "allowed" stats lower is better and the colours flip. Display → Show → Percentiles swaps every value for its percentile against the league (100 = best). Greyed cells have less than that metric's minimum sample. Click a team for its full profile.

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 is every regular-season game so far. Last 20 / 10 / 5 are each team's (or goalie's) most recent games. Home and Away keep only those games. Back-to-back keeps games played the day after the team's previous game; Rested keeps games with at least one day off. Custom dates covers any date range you choose. Every number is recomputed from the games themselves, never averaged from per-game rates, and a window never uses a game played after its last date.

Free and members. Season and Last 20 are free for everyone. Last 10, Last 5, the splits and custom dates are part of Analytics, and every higher plan includes them.

All situations

xGF% (all) (xGF% all): G&W expected goals (xG): the chance each unblocked shot attempt becomes a goal, summed. Team share across every game state. Higher is better.

Finishing & goaltending
