What Team Goals Against measures

This board ranks every NHL team by goals against, lowest first, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table; each team links to its own players' goals against. Goals allowed with a goalie in net (empty-net goals excluded), fewest first.

Goals against mix team defence with goaltending; shots against and save % split the two.

Team goals against count every goal allowed while a goalie was in net; empty-net goals are excluded because no goalie is charged with them. Fewest is best. In 2021-22, 32 teams qualify for this board; the median is 233 and Carolina Hurricanes leads at 194.
