What Overtime Record measures
Record in games decided in overtime (3-on-3 in the regular season), shootouts excluded. All 32 teams, regular season, with the number of games behind each figure. Wins divided by games in the situation; W-L-OTL beside it.
Year to year this split repeats at r = 0.01 (252 team-seasons, 2017-18 to 2025-26), against r = 0.60 for overall points %. That is noise: last season tells you almost nothing about this one.
Overtime records did not repeat at all from season to season in our data (r near zero). Treat them as luck when you price a game. In 2018-19, 31 teams qualify for this board; the median is 50.0% and New York Islanders leads at 75.0%.
Overtime Record leaderboard
- Year to year this split repeats at r = 0.01 (252 team-seasons, 2017-18 to 2025-26), against r = 0.60 for overall points %. That is noise: last season tells you almost nothing about this one.
- 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.
