Scouting Take
The Pittsburgh Penguins profile as an offense-first group that lives and dies by the scoresheet. A solid regulation win rate suggests they can close out games. Losing more than they're winning lately. Concerning trajectory.
Every metric ranked vs. the league, sorted best to worst. Long bar = advantage.
Key Takeaway
Clear strengths in offense, reg wins, goal diff — all above the 65th percentile. Exposed in defense (26th) and hits (16th) — opponents will target these areas.

82 games. Corsi (CF%) and Fenwick (FF%) are shot-attempt shares; xGF% weights those attempts by chance quality. PDO is shooting plus save percentage × 10 — it regresses hard toward 100, so a team far from it is usually running hot or cold rather than good or bad. Percentages are coloured against break-even at even strength only; special teams are lopsided by definition. These are raw, unadjusted totals — no score, venue or schedule adjustment.
