Observations

Highest Over Rate

Anaheim leads the league with a 63.5% over rate. Their games average 6.80 combined goals, the highest in the NHL, driven by both strong offensive production (3.31 GF/GP) and significant defensive volume allowed (3.49 GA/GP).

Lowest Over Rate

Seattle's games have gone under in 58.8% of contests. Their 5.82 combined goals per game ranks among the lowest in the league. Chicago (42.3% over) and New Jersey (43.1% over) also trend heavily toward unders.

Colorado Scoring vs. Totals

Colorado leads the NHL in goals per game at 3.96, yet their over rate sits at just 46.0%. Their league-best goals against average of 2.47 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 55.8% over rate despite the league's lowest combined goals (5.51). This reflects how oddsmakers set totals relative to each matchup, not just a team's raw scoring average.

Tampa Bay Efficiency

Tampa Bay's 3.54 GF/GP ranks second in the NHL, but their 2.60 GA/GP is the league's best. Their games average just 6.14 combined goals, and their O/U record sits at a flat 50.0%. High offense paired with elite defense produces mid-range totals.
