The team with the fewest rush attempts from the slot at 5-on-5 are the Coyotes with 4.03 per 60, and their results aren’t much better. While the top five rush teams are all in the thick of the playoff race, it’s no surprise that the bottom two teams aren’t. That moves them up to third overall in scoring chances with 24.1 per 60 minutes. Like the Flames and Panthers, they can beat their opponents in quite a few ways - they’re the best at producing slot shots (and finishing them) off the cycle, too. Andrew Mangiapane and Matthew Tkachuk also contribute to the team’s impressive rate, as they’re both in the top-50 in the league with their attempts.Ĭolorado, on the other hand, is fifth in offence off the rush with 6.89 attempts per 60. Leading the way for the Flames? Johnny Gaudreau who is the best in the league on the rush thanks to his stellar puck-moving play. Calgary ranks fourth in both rush chances and cycle shots, earning them the second seed behind the Panthers in slot shots per 60 with 24.9. Rounding out the top-five in scoring chance generation in transition are the Flames and Avalanche.
But because neither of those teams are as versatile with their offensive approach, like the Panthers, Vegas is eighth overall in scoring chances (21.8 per 60) while the Oilers are 12th (21.2 per 60). Similarly, the Oilers are third in both marks.
That makes their offence all the more dangerous, seeing as they can pour on the quality chances (and score) in a variety of ways they lead the league with 26.0 slot shots per 60.įollowing the Panthers, the Golden Knights rank second in their attempts on the rush and are just behind Florida in their scoring with. While Florida clearly creates quite a few scoring chances in transition, their offensive approach isn’t one dimensional - they create a similar rate of slot shots off the cycle as well. They get contributions up and down their forward group, with Carter Verhaeghe, Sam Bennett, Anthony Duclair, and Aleksander Barkov all ranking in the top-50 among all forwards in the league in their slot shot generation off the rush. They lead the way across the board in attempts (8.25 per 60), shots that connect with the net (5.21 per 60), and goals (1.00 per 60). No one creates more slot shots on the rush than the Florida Panthers at 5-on-5. Once again, we want to look at the most and the least rush chances - so which teams best limit their opponents from creating slot chances off the rush and which teams bleed chances against? Plus, which goaltenders respond well, or poorly, to these speedy plays? That’s just one aspect of the game, though. But at 5-on-5, which team generates the most on the rush? Whose offensive attack is missing these sequences? All rights reserved.Today’s NHL is filled with skillful skaters who can create offence in transition.
