Expected goals (xG) weigh every unblocked shot by how often a shot like it, from that spot and in that situation, goes in. The five-on-five xG% is our shot model before any adjustment; BlueLine xG counts every situation, including the power play and empty nets, and adjusts for score, venue and the home rink's scorekeeping. Ranks run 1 (best) to 32 and update nightly. Compare every club on any of these stats on the team rankings, see Vegas Golden Knights franchise history, or read advanced stats explained.
