Under the hood

Percentages hide how a power play works. These measure the chances it creates and allows per minute, and how quickly it gets set up.

How the special teams work

Each row places the team on the league's range; the tick is the league median. Blue dots are better than the median. For time to first attempt and PK xG against, lower is better.
