The story

By chance quality WBS were a middle club: 9th of 32 in creation, 15th of 32 in suppression.

They finished 39 goals above what the chances were worth (5th of 32 in shooting), and conceded 8 fewer than the chances against were worth (3rd of 32 in save percentage).

Only 32% of their goals came off the rush, 31st of 32 — the offence was built on the cycle and the point.

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.

How the goals came

Goals	For	Share	Against	Share
Off the rush	78	32.1%	72	38.7%
Off the cycle	127	52.3%	85	45.7%
In a scramble	35	14.4%	27	14.5%

Attempts	For	Sh%	Against	Sv%
Off the rush	521	15.0%	509	85.9%
Off the cycle	1369	9.3%	1385	93.9%
In a scramble	129	27.1%	95	71.6%

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; WBS 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.
