What Record When Leading After Two measures

Win percentage in games the team led after two periods. League-wide, teams leading after two win about 80 percent of the time. 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. Blown leads are the games with the lead at that point that the team did not win (losses in regulation, overtime or a shootout).

Year to year this split repeats at r = 0.25 (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.

Blown third-period leads make headlines, but this split repeats weakly: few teams are reliably bad at protecting a lead. In 2022-23, 32 teams qualify for this board; the median is 86.6% and Boston Bruins leads at 94.0%.

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.
We have no live or period odds history, so we can’t compare these records to the market after vig. This is a description of what happened, not a bet.
