The story

By chance quality LAV were a middle club: 10th of 32 in creation, 11th of 32 in suppression.

They finished 30 goals above what the chances were worth (12th of 32 in shooting), and conceded 8 more than the chances against were worth (10th of 32 in save percentage).

Only 36% of their goals came off the rush, 29th of 32 — the offence was built on the cycle and the point.

The power play was 6th of 32 at 21.5% and the penalty kill 25th of 32 at 79.7%.

Share of goals is this club’s goals as a percentage of every goal scored in that period, so 50% is even. xG share is the same sum over chance quality, which says whether the result matched the play. Regulation only — overtime is three skaters a side and a different game.

A rush is the first shot of a possession, taken inside 40 ft up the middle; the cycle is a shot after sustained pressure, or a first shot from distance or the wall; a scramble is a second attempt inside four seconds. League-wide they convert at about 17%, 8% and 23%. Shares are of goals scored in play — shootout winners are not shots.

Regulation only — overtime is three-on-three and always starts level, so pooling it here would contaminate every rate. The small figure under each percentage is the league in the same score state; LAV being above it is the claim, not the percentage itself. GF% ex. EN drops empty-net goals from both sides, and across the league it reverses the headline: clubs are outscored at even play while protecting a lead, and outscore while chasing. The empty net is what settles it.
