Deserved Standings

2026-272

Deserved points: what each club would have if every game were replayed with the same chances. The gap is luck.

Anaheim has 3 points more than its play deserves; Calgary has 3 points fewer.

Points minus deserved points. Beside each club: its points / deserved points.

Some clubs have played only 2 games, so these numbers will move a lot.

League Personality Map

5 on 54

Chances created against chances allowed: up and right is where playoff teams live.

11 clubs sit in the playoff-ready corner, creating more chances than the median club and allowing fewer; Tampa Bay has the best balance.

5-on-5 expected goals for and against per 60 minutes. Dashed lines: the league medians. Based on 2 games for some clubs, so it will change a lot early in the season.

Clutch Teams

Late and close5

Who wins the close ones: late goals, one-goal games, comebacks and overtime.

Boston leads the league in team Clutch Score (8.0) and has won 1 of 1 one-goal game.

Team Clutch Score: the club's goals late in close games and in overtime, scored the same way as the players' (scorers only). Beside each club: its record in one-goal games, overtime and shootouts included (and two-goal wins with an empty-netter, as on the team pages).

Some clubs have played only 2 games, so these numbers will move a lot.
