Goals Against by Position
Early season: teams have played 5–9 games, so these numbers and ranks can swing a lot on one game. They settle after about 10 games.
Positions: where each shooter lined up that game (the expected lines) for 37%, his usual spot for 60%, his NHL position for 3% of the season's shot attempts. The lines are kept from Oct 10 on.
New here? Each table ranks the league by what teams give up to one position. Green is the softest matchup. Tap a team to follow it across the tables, or its badge to open its Team Game Log.
What do these mean?
- Rk
- Rank in the league (among the playoff teams when Span is Playoffs). 1 = allows the most to that position.
- GP
- Games played.
- SA/GP, GA/GP
- Shots on goal (SA) or goals (GA) a team allows per game to players at that position.
- C, LW, RW, D
- Centres, left wingers, right wingers and defencemen. W = both wings together, F = all forwards.
- Centres and wingers
- Each shot counts where the shooter lined up that game (the expected lines) for the games whose lines were kept, else his usual spot or his NHL position; a line on the page says how much is which. Counted by NHL position, a team's split between C, LW and RW didn't carry from one 10 games to the next (2025-26).
- Group
- How the positions are split into tables: one each (C/L/R/D), wings together (C/W/D), or all forwards together (F/D).
- YTD, Last 10
- YTD = the season so far, playoffs included once they start. Last 10 = each team's last 10 regular-season games (fewer early in a season). Reg Season and Playoffs show one or the other.
- Location
- All games, home games only, or away games only.
- View
- All teams, or only those playing today or tomorrow. A team keeps its league rank whichever is showing.
- Colours
- Green = allows the most (a softer matchup for that position), red = allows the least.
- Flip
- Tap Rk or the number heading to turn a table upside down.
On the page itself, tap a team to pick it out in every table (tap it again to let go), or its badge to open its Team Game Log. Press and hold a heading for what it means.
