Observations

Highest Over Rate

Edmonton leads the league with a 60.9% over rate. Their games average 6.89 combined goals, the highest in the NHL, driven by nearly identical offensive production (3.45 GF/GP) and goals allowed (3.44 GA/GP). The Oilers are involved in high-scoring affairs at a league-leading pace.

Lowest Over Rate

Chicago's games have gone over in just 40.0% of contests. Their 5.83 combined goals per game ranks among the lowest in the league. Seattle (42.0% over) and Washington (42.3% over) also trend heavily toward unders.

Colorado Scoring vs. Totals

Colorado leads the NHL in goals per game at 3.72, yet their over rate sits at just 43.3%. Their league-best goals against average of 2.54 per game means their dominance often produces lopsided results rather than high-total games.

Over Rate vs. Combined Goals

A team's combined goals per game does not always correlate with its over rate. Calgary, for instance, has a 50.7% over rate despite the league's lowest combined goals (5.63). Buffalo has the lowest over rate among winning teams at 45.7%, despite averaging 3.54 GF/GP. This reflects how oddsmakers set totals relative to each matchup, not just a team's raw scoring average. See our NHL home and away splits for venue-specific breakdowns, and use the implied probability calculator to convert totals odds into percentages you can compare against these rates.

Tampa Bay Efficiency

Tampa Bay's 3.64 GF/GP ranks second in the NHL, but their 2.78 GA/GP is among the league's best. Their games average 6.42 combined goals, yet their O/U record sits at 52.9% over. High offense paired with strong defense produces mid-range totals.
