Luck or skill?
Teams that score more than their chances deserve, or concede fewer, often regress. Here is how far this team strayed from its expected goals.
Cumulative goals (solid) against expected goals (dashed) through the season, in all situations. The gap is finishing on the left and goaltending on the right; the dot plots place every team.
Scoring +4.6 goals vs expected

Strong starts, strong finishes
Some teams control the first period and fade; others come on late.
Share of expected goals in each period: 5-on-5 in regulation, all situations in 3-on-3 overtime. The grey band is the middle half of the league, the light band the full range, and the tick the league median.
