What Goals in the First 10 Minutes measures
Share of games in which the team scored within the first ten minutes, next to how often it allowed one. All 32 teams, regular season, with the number of games behind each figure. Share of games with a goal for in the window, next to the share with a goal against.
Year to year this split repeats at r = 0.15 (252 team-seasons, 2017-18 to 2025-26), against r = 0.60 for overall points %. That is weak: most of a team's number is luck and sample, and it drifts back toward average.
A wider window than five minutes, so a little more signal, but it still repeats weakly year to year. Team scoring and shot rates explain most of what is real here. In 2024-25, 32 teams qualify for this board; the median is 34.1% and Dallas Stars leads at 47.6%.
Goals in the First 10 Minutes leaderboard
- Year to year this split repeats at r = 0.15 (252 team-seasons, 2017-18 to 2025-26), against r = 0.60 for overall points %. That is weak: most of a team's number is luck and sample, and it drifts back toward average.
- The Home, Away and Last 10 columns (where shown) count only those games, so each holds a fraction of the season sample: a split of a few games is noise, not a trend.
- Period and early-goal rates over a short window are mostly noise: ten games hold about 30 goals for and against per period. Read them over a season, and next to the team's overall goal rates.
