What the two axes are
Win chance vs an average team. Our power rating: the chance of beating a league-average club on neutral ice. It is built from team results and cannot see a trade or an injury until games are played.
Goaltending (goals saved above expected per 60). Goals the club's likely starters save per 60 minutes beyond what an average goalie would on the same shots, weighted by who is likely to start and pulled toward average for a goalie with little history.
A lower-is-better measure is drawn with its axis flipped, so the best clubs are always up and to the right. The dashed lines are the league median; r is how closely the two measures move together across the 32 clubs. Methodology →
