The story

GR were a suppression team: 4th of 32 in chances allowed, but only 13th of 32 in chances created.

They finished 55 goals above what the chances were worth (2nd of 32 in shooting), and conceded 21 fewer than the chances against were worth (1st of 32 in save percentage).

44% of their goals came off the rush, 5th of 32 — a club built on the first shot, not the cycle.

The penalty kill 3rd of 32 at 85.3%.

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	113	44.3%	66	41.5%
Off the cycle	104	40.8%	79	49.7%
In a scramble	35	13.7%	13	8.2%

Off the cycle	1406	7.4%	1443	94.5%
In a scramble	125	28.0%	115	88.7%

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; GR 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.
