What Record When Trailing After One measures
Win percentage in games the team trailed after the first period. 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 = 0.31 (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.
Comebacks from one period down are common enough to rank, but the order mostly follows team quality. In 2021-22, 32 teams qualify for this board; the median is 22.9% and Florida Panthers leads at 60.9%.
