What Shootout Record measures
Record in games decided by a shootout. Teams play only five to ten a season. 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 = 0.11 (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.
With a handful of shootouts a season and almost no year-to-year repeat, a team's shootout record is noise. In 2018-19, 31 teams qualify for this board; the median is 50.0% and Montreal Canadiens leads at 100.0%.
Shootout Record leaderboard
- Year to year this split repeats at r = 0.11 (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.
