Difficulty is how often the opponent would beat an average team, from shot quality (our season model, which leans on last season early on). Red is the top quarter of the league, green the bottom quarter. Hover a bar for the numbers.

Next six: these opponents would beat an average team 51.6% of the time. 4 of the six made the 2025-26 playoffs.

Expected goals weigh every unblocked attempt by its chance of scoring from that spot, shot type and strength (our model, trained on 2025-26). Above zero on finishing or goaltending means better than the chances.
