Scouting Take
The Chicago Blackhawks profile as struggling on both ends of the ice. Heavy OT dependency. The standings may be flattering them. In free fall over the last 10. Something needs to change.
Every metric ranked vs. the league, sorted best to worst. Long bar = advantage.
Key Takeaway
No single area ranks above-average — a jack of all trades, master of none. Exposed in defense (16th) and road (13th) and blocks (13th) and home (6th) and offense (3th) and goal diff (3th) and point % (3th) and reg wins (3th) and form (l10) (3th) and hits (0th) — 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.
