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 48.0% of the time. 2 of the six made the 2025-26 playoffs.

Anaheim attempt more from the slot than anywhere else

Every Anaheim attempt in 2026-27, attacking right (2 games). Crease: within 8 ft of the goal. Slot: inside the faceoff dots below the circles. Point: the top 20 ft of the zone.

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.
