Bubble Horizontal Position The x-axis measures puck possession and uses USAT% as the metric. USAT% is computed by finding what fraction of all unblocked shot attempts in games were generated by the team in question. A USAT% value greater than 50% suggests that a team is consistently outshooting their opponents.

Bubble Vertical Position The y-axis measures luck at even-strength hockey and uses SHSV% as the metric. SHSV% is computed by using a team's even-strength shooting percentage and adding it to the team's even-strength save percentage (multiplied by 1000). Teams with values that stray significantly from 1000 are having their results influenced by luck.

Bubble Size The size of each bubble measures the even-strength shooting percentage of a team. The league average value is 7.7%.

Bubble Color The color of each bubble measures the even-strength save percentage of a team. The league average value is 0.923.
