What the two axes are
Power play %. Power-play goals per power-play opportunity. It says nothing about how many power plays a club draws.
Shots for per game. Shots on goal per game. Counts every shot the same, from the point or the crease.
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 →
