Expected goals trend
Each dot is one game; each line averages the last 3 games, or every game so far before the 3rd. Empty net counts shots at an empty net, whichever team shot them; off, they are left out, while the extra attacker's shots at a guarded net always count. Overtime off counts regulation only; the shootout never counts.
