What Record When Trailing After Two measures
Win percentage in games the team trailed after two periods. League-wide, teams trailing after two win fewer than one game in five. 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 = 0.21 (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.
Few games and weak repeatability: a team that came back often last season is not a reliable comeback team this season. In 2024-25, 32 teams qualify for this board; the median is 14.3% and Vegas Golden Knights leads at 30.8%.

- Year to year this split repeats at r = 0.21 (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.
- 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.
