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 2026-27, 32 teams qualify for this board; the median is 0.0% and Boston Bruins leads at 50.0%.
