Team Statistics

Goal scoring rates by team

Team-level statistics showing how often each NHL team scores goals and their overall goal production. Goal % shows the percentage of games where the team scored at least one goal. Goals/Game is the average number of goals per game, useful for over/under goal total props. First Goal Wins and First Goal % indicate how often a team's player scores the game's first goal, a key stat for first goal scorer prop markets. The Avg 1st Goal Period shows the typical period when the first goal occurs in the team's games.

Recent Form (Last 10 Games)

Goal scoring performance in recent games

Track each team's recent goal scoring performance over their last 10 games. Recent form often matters more than season-long averages - teams on hot streaks with potent offenses tend to keep scoring. Teams labeled HOT (70%+ goal game rate) are worth targeting for anytime goal scorer props, while COLD teams (30% or below) may be worth fading. The top goal scorers shown for each team indicate which players have been finding the net recently, helping you identify the best anytime goal scorer prop targets for upcoming games.
