The story

By chance quality TEX were a middle club: 25th of 32 in creation, 23rd of 32 in suppression.

They finished 36 goals above what the chances were worth (9th of 32 in shooting), and conceded 23 more than the chances against were worth (12th of 32 in save percentage).

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

The power play was 30th of 32 at 14.0% and the penalty kill 26th of 32 at 79.6%.

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	71	32.0%	97	42.5%
Off the cycle	115	51.8%	100	43.9%
In a scramble	32	14.4%	29	12.7%

Attempts	For	Sh%	Against	Sv%

Off the cycle	1365	8.4%	1497	93.3%
In a scramble	117	27.4%	156	81.4%

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; TEX 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.
