How this is measured
League measures come from the NHL's own season report for 2026-27, regular season only. They are per-game averages and rates, not adjusted for the schedule. Team save percentage is one minus goals against over shots against, so empty-net goals count against it.
The "Our model" measures are our current ratings. Before a club has played, they are last season's form carried over and pulled toward the league average, so in the preseason they and the league measures describe different seasons. GP on those rows counts games our ratings have seen this season. Methodology →
