@hockeyviz.com To my brain, this plot suggests that xG underrepresent actual goal chances on special teams. Is this persistent? Or are powerplays exceptionally better now than they usually are? Would you expect this to be captured in the model? (Not embedding: hockeyviz.com/static/img/l...)

The league-wide finishing on the powerplay this season is up sharply; my xG model will adjust to the new normal eventually but it's v. slow by design. I don't know if it's "real" or just variance but I suspect it's mostly real.
